Abstract

High energy photon colliders (γγ,γe) are based on e-e-linear colliders where high energy photons are produced using Compton scattering of laser light on high energy electrons just before the interaction point. This paper is a part of the Technical Design Report of the linear collider TESLA.1Physics program, possible parameters and some technical aspects of the photon collider at TESLA are discussed.
