Ultimate luminosities and energies of photon colliders
A photon collider luminosity and its energy are determined by the parameters
of an electron-electron linear collider (energy, power, beam emittances) and
collision effects. The main collision effect is the coherent e+e- pair
creation. At low energies (2E < 0.5 - 1 TeV) this process is suppressed due to
repulsion of electron beams. In this region gamma-gamma luminosity above
10^{35} cm-2 s-1 is possible (10^{33} is sufficient). At higher energies the
limited average beam power and coherent pair creation restrict the maximum
energy of photon colliders (with sufficient luminosity) at 2E ~ 5 TeV.
Obtaining high luminosities requires the development of new methods of
production beams with low emittances such as a laser cooling.Comment: 15 pages, Latex, 6 figures(eps), submitted to Proceedings of the

Some problems in plasma suppression of beam-beam interactions at muon colliders
The idea of plasma suppression of beam-beam effects at muon colliders is
discussed. It is shown that one should take into account collisions in the
plasma that were ignored before. Rough estimates show that this effect leads to
a fast ``recovery'' of the beam magnetic field. For beam parameters
characteristic for muon colliders the suppression of the magnetic component of
the beam field (1/2 of the total force) is almost absent. It is also shown that
the presence of the dense plasma (Li jet) at the interaction point leads to
enormous hadronic background (due to photo-nuclear reactions) in the detector,
about 10^{7} particles per crossing at large angles which creates serious
problems for experimentation.Comment: 6 pages, LaTeX, Talk at the Workshop Studies on Colliders and

Coherent e^+e^- pair creation at high energy muon colliders
It is shown that at muon colliders with the energy in the region of 100 TeV
the process of coherent pair creation by the muon in the field of the opposing
beam becomes important and imposes some limitations on collider parameters.Comment: 3 pages, LaTeX, Talk at the Workshop Studies on Colliders and

Introduction and recent developments in gamma-gamma, gamma-electron colliders
High energy photon colliders (gamma-gamma, gamma-electron) based on backward
Compton scattering of laser light is a very natural addition to e+e- linear
colliders. In this report we consider mainly this option for the TESLA project.
Recent study has shown that the horizontal emittance in the TESLA damping ring
can be further decreased by a factor of four. In this case the gamma-gamma
luminosity luminosity in the high energy part of spectrum can reach 0.3--0.5
L_e+e-. Typical cross sections of interesting processes in gamma-gamma
collisions are higher than those in e+e- collisions by about one order of
magnitude, so the number of events in gamma-gamma collisions will be more that
in e+e- collisions. The key new element in photon colliders is a very powerful
laser system. The most straightforward solution is ``an optical storage ring
(optical trap)'' with diode pumped laser injector which is today technically
feasible. This paper briefly review the status of a photon collider based at
TESLA, its possible parameters.Comment: 6 pages, Latex, 2 figures(eps), Talk at Intern. Conference on the

Limit on a horizontal emittance in high energy muon colliders due to synchrotron radiation
It is shown that at a 100 TeV muon collider the synchrotron radiation in the
ring will determine the minimum horizontal emittance.Comment: 2 pages, LaTeX, Talk at the Workshop Studies on Colliders and
