We review high--energy scattering processes that are sensitive to the hadronic structure of the photon, describing theoretical predictions as well as recent experimental results. These processes include deep--inelastic electron--photon…
Among the many effects that occur in beam-beam electron-positron collisions at TeV energies, emission of hard synchrotron radiation, or beamstrahlung, has special importance. Beamstrahlung determines the energy spectrum of the most…
Photon collider based on cold and warm linear collider technologies are compared from the point of view of attainable luminosities, technical feasibility of laser systems and experimental conditions.
We point out that even the most intense laser beams available today can provide only a very small fraction of the beam energy required to reach the design luminosity for a future e+e- linear collider. This fact seems to have been overlooked…
Extending the sensitivity to New Physics beyond the anticipated reach of the LHC is a prime aim of future colliders. This paper summarises the potential of an e+e- linear collider, at and beyond 1 TeV, using a realistic simulation of the…
Main parameters and physics goals of different colliders, which can be realized if a special 1 TeV energy linear electron accelerator or corresponding linear collider is constructed tangential to LHC, are discussed. It is shown that…
Light-by-light scatterings contain rich information on the photon coupling to virtual and real particle states. In the context of quantum electrodynamics (QED), photons can couple to a virtual $e^+e^-$ pair. Photons may also couple to known…
We investigate the possibility of observing strong interactions of longitudinally polarized weak vector bosons in the process $\gamma \gamma \to ZZ$ at a photon linear collider. We make use of polarization of the photon beams and cuts on…
We examine the prospects for studying the diffractive production of high pt photons in the process gamma+gamma -> gamma+X at a future linear collider operating in both ee and gamma-gamma modes. The high luminosity associated with a linear…
Two photon processes are a wonderful by-product of an $e^+e^-$ collider at any energy. Two photon reactions probe the very structure of matter. A machine operating below 2 GeV has the potential to reveal the Higgs sector of the strong…
A high energy linear e^+e^- collider (LC) can also be used as a Photon Collider (PC), using Compton scattering of laser photons on the e^+/e^- beams. The leading order cross-section for the production of heavy quarks, e^+e^- -> e^+e^-…
It is known that the linearly polarized photons can partly transform to circularly polarized ones via forward Compton scattering in a background such as the external magnetic field or noncommutative space time. Based on this fact we explore…
Calibration of the absolute energy scale at high-energy photon (gamma-gamma, gamma-electron) colliders is discussed. The luminosity spectrum at photon colliders is broad and has a rather sharp high-energy edge, which can be used, for…
The evolution of an electron beam colliding head-on with a strong plane-wave field is investigated in the framework of strong-field QED including radiation-reaction effects due to photon emission. Employing a kinetic approach to describe…
The cross--section for two--photon events with (at least) two independent partonic scatters is estimated, for LEP energies as well as a 500 GeV ``photon collider". This results in events with (at least) four central (mini--)jets. Such…
The physics at an e+e- linear collider with a center of mass energy of 3-5 TeV is reviewed. The following topics are covered: experimental environment, Higgs physics, supersymmetry, fermion pair-production, WW scattering, extra dimensions,…
We present results from luminosity, energy and polarization studies at a future Linear Collider. We compare e+e- and e-e- modes of operation and consider both NLC and TESLA beam parameter specifications at a center-of-mass energy of 500…
The possibility of single and pair excited neutrino production in high energy e+e-, gamma-e and gamma-gamma collisions on linear colliders is studied. The integrated cross sections of these subproceses are calculated. Special attention is…
We quantify the discovery potential of future multi-TeV plasma wakefield colliders for new electroweak multiplets. We include beam-beam effects through realistic luminosity spectra, comparing five collider configurations: $e^+e^-$ and…
Hard photons well above 100 GeV have to be generated in a future photon-collider which essentially will be based on the infrastructure of the planned International Linear Collider (ILC). The energy of near-infrared laser photons will be…
