Valery Telnov (Institute of Nuclear Physics, Novosibirsk, Russia)
TL;DR
Photon colliders at linear accelerators enable advanced studies of gamma interactions and Higgs bosons at TeV energies, with ongoing developments in design and luminosity enhancement.
Contribution
This paper reviews the current status, new research opportunities, and methods to achieve high luminosities in photon colliders integrated into linear collider projects.
Findings
Photon colliders are included in major linear collider designs.
New possibilities for Higgs boson studies are identified.
Techniques for achieving high luminosities are discussed.
Abstract
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 colliders, new possibilities in study of Higgs boson, ways to achieve high luminosities.
