Beamstrahlung at the NLC
G. Bonvicini, N. Powell

TL;DR
This paper discusses the detection and analysis of beamstrahlung light at the NLC, focusing on polarization, beam-beam collision imaging, drift correction, and microwave spectrum properties for beam monitoring.
Contribution
It introduces methods for imaging beam-beam collisions using polarized beamstrahlung and explores microwave coherent beamstrahlung for beam diagnostics.
Findings
Effective imaging of beam-beam collisions using polarized light.
Monitoring of beam drifts and jitter through beamstrahlung detection.
Properties of microwave coherent beamstrahlung relevant for diagnostics.
Abstract
The detection of beamstrahlung visible light, divided in its polarization components, effectively images the beam-beam collision (BBC). Monitoring and correction of drifts are reviewed. Monitoring of beam jitter is also possible. The properties of coherent beamstrahlung in the microwave part of the spectrum (and its usage) are introduced.
