摘要: Compton backscattering of laser photons near the interaction point an e+ e− or collider can be used to produce a γ-γ γ-e− collider. This paper describes requirements, including pulse duration, intensity, energy, and wavelength, for such For most proposed, next generation, colliders, wavelength should in near-infrared, with duration 1 ps less energy ∼ J per pulse. Current chirped amplification systems solid state lasing materials are well suited meet these requirements. These described.
