Beam-beam instability driven by wakefield effects in linear colliders

The vertical beam profile distortions induced by wakefield effects in linear colliders (the so-called "banana effect") generate a beam-beam instability at the collision point when the vertical disruption parameter is large. We illustrate this effect in the case of the TESLA linear collider project. We specify the tolerance on the associated emittance growth, which translates into tolerances on injection jitter and, for a given tuning procedure, on structure misalignment. We look for possible cures based on fast orbit correction at the interaction point and using a fast luminosity monitor
