Studies for a Photon Collider at the ILC
نویسندگان
چکیده
One option at the International Linear Collider is to convert the electron beams into high energy photon beams by Compton scattering a few millimetres in front of the interaction region. Selected physics channels for this option have been analysed and technical issues have been studied. So far no showstoppers for this option have been found.

This paper is the second part of my overview on photon colliders given at the conference " The photon: its first hundred years and the future " (PHOTON2005 + PLC2005). The first paper [1] describes the first 25 years of the history and evolution of photon colliders. The present paper considers the photon collider at the ILC: possible parameters, technical problems and present status.

In this report, I provide an overview of the technical (and some political) aspects of the Photon Linear Collider (PLC). The physics program at the PLC is discussed in K. Mönig’s talk at this conference [1]. The photon collider based on the conversion of electrons at a linear collider to high-energy photons through Compton scattering of laser photons has been discussed and developed since early...

One of the interaction regions at the linear colliders should be compatible both with e + e − and γγ,γe modes of operation. In this paper, the differences in requirements and possible design solutions are discussed. The photon collider (γγ, γe) is being considered as an " option " in the International Linear Collider (ILC) project [1–3], while e + e − collisions are " baseline ". In reality, th...
متن کاملBeam Polarization at the ILC: Physics Case and Realization
The International Linear Collider (ILC) is a proposed e+e− collider, focused on precision measurement of the Standard Model and new physics beyond. Polarized beams are a key element of the ILC physics program. The physics studies are accompanied by an extensive R&D program for the creation of the polarized beams and the measurement of their polarization. This contribution will review the advant...
متن کاملUltimate parameters of the photon collider at the ILC ∗
At linear colliders, the e + e − luminosity is limited by beam-collision effects, which determine the required emittances of beams in damping rings (DRs). While in γγ collisions at the photon collider, these effects are absent, and so smaller emittances are desirable. In present damping rings designs, nominal DR parameters correspond to those required for e + e − collisions. In this note, I wou...
