Beam-beam deflection and beamstrahlung monitor response for tilted elliptic beams

A simulation code for the experimentally observable effects of beam-beam deflection and beamstrahlung at SLC (SLAC Linear Collider) final focus is described. In the code the interaction of general Gaussian particle distributions in the nondisruptive regime is simulated. The simulations show that the dip in beamstrahlung scans is associated with a larger target beam size compared to the beam size of the radiating beam. Asymmetric scans turn out to be related to tilted beams that are scanned across each other with an offset. The simulations show that it is possible to assess individual beam sizes with beamstrahlung scans whereas this is in principle not possible with deflection scans.<>
