High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We describe a simple algorithm that calculates the distributions of electrons and positrons under multiphoton beamstrahlung at a future linear collider. The evolution equation as given by Chen is solved by a Monte Carlo algorithm. Explicit multiple beamstrahlung photons are generated. We present first results from an implementation of beamstrahlung into the Monte Carlo event generator {\tt WOPPER}, that calculates the QED radiative corrections to the process e+e4e^+e^- \to 4~fermions through resonating W pairs.
