  We present studies on the transverse baseband Beam Transfer Functions (BTFs) in bunched beams at high energies. The goal of the work is to evaluate whether transverse BTFs can be used to diagnose the tune spread arising from transverse nonlinearities such as the beam-beam effect and space charge. We employ an analytic expression to the BTFs of beams under a transverse nonlinear lens arising from a bi-Gaussian charge distribution. We obtain agreement between a simulation model of an electron-lens like configuration and the analytic results. The tune spread for this scenario can be recovered by means of a fit against the analytic expectation. The results are compared with measurements where the beam-beam effect acts as a substitute for the electron lens. A similar behaviour of the BTF is observed. This allows the conclusion that the transverse BTF can be used to diagnose tune spread from an electron-lens. Finally we discuss the problems that arise when trying to recover the tune spread from BTFs of arbitrary non-Gaussian beams and in the presence of coherent beam-beam modes.
