Abstract
Transverse beam tails have been measured in LEP using scraping collimators and loss monitors. Very significant non-Gaussian tails are present for colliding beams and high beam-beam tune shift. On a lower but still significant level, non-Gaussian tails are also present in the horizontal plane for a single beam. Comparison of measurements with detailed simulations allowed us to identify off-momentum particles produced by scattering processes as a source of significant transverse tails
