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…
A data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 232pb^-1 was collected in 1997 and 1998 by the L3 experiment at LEP in e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies between 181.7GeV and 188.7GeV. Pair production of fermions and…
With center of mass energies up to 209 GeV of LEP II, massive W and Z bosons can be produced in pairs and jointly with photons. This allows to study boson-boson couplings. Since the W and Z bosons are unstable and decay into fermions, two-…
