We address the problem of how to extract the signal of a Higgs within the intermediate mass range at a photon-photon collider that has a wide energy spectrum. All backgrounds from two-jets production are included: direct, so-called resolved…
Elastic light-by-light scattering, $\gamma\gamma\to\gamma\gamma$, is open to study at the Large Hadron Collider thanks to the large quasi-real photon fluxes available in electromagnetic interactions of protons (p) and lead (Pb) ions. The…
Linear colliders offer a unique possibility to study gamma gamma and gamma electron interactions at the energies 0.1--2 TeV. This option is now included in design reports of NLC, JLC and TESLA/SBLC. This paper includes: status of photon…
Two photon collisions offer a variety of physics studies that can be performed at the future electron-positron colliders. Using the planned CEPC parameters as a benchmark we consider several topics to be studied in the two-photon…

We present a study of photon-photon scattering for $W_{\gamma\gamma} < 5$ GeV. We extend earlier calculations of this cross section for $W_{\gamma\gamma}>$ 5 GeV into the low mass range where photoproduction of the pseudoscalar mesons…

We study high-energy $\gamma$-rays observed from Cyg X-3 by the Fermi Large Area Telescope and the 15-GHz emission observed by the Ryle Telescope and the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager. We measure the $\gamma$-ray spectrum averaged over…
The luminosity distribution in the effective $\gamma\gamma$ mass at photon collider has usually two peaks which are well separated: high energy peak with mean energy spread 5-7% and wide low energy peak.The low energy peak depends strongly…
Last two years were very important in history of a photon colliders. This option is included now in conceptual design reports of the NLC, JLC and TESLA/SBLC projects. All the designs foresee two interaction regions: one for e+e- and the…

A search is performed for light, spin-0 bosons decaying into two photons in the 66 to 110 GeV mass range, using 140 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV produced by the Large Hadron Collider and collected by the ATLAS…
If the gamma-gamma resonance at 750 GeV suggested by 2015 LHC data turns out to be a real effect, what are the implications for the physics case and upgrade path of the International Linear Collider? Whether or not the resonance is…
