of a PC
3Studies Reach Maturity
- Aim Level of detail in ?? as good or better than
in ee- - SIMDET simulation (ee- detector/ see K.
Moenig). Brahms? - Real Luminosity spectra/polarization used
- B search using ZVTOP
- Adding overlap events
- QCD backgrounds in NLO
- QCD Monte Carlo tuning to existing data
- Cross checks for key processes (Higgs production)
- Direct contact exchange with the NLC
studies/exchange tools - More work still needed on
- Luminosity/polarisation measurement (
corresponding syst.) - Final design of IP/vertex detectors (?
backgrounds)

Any Volunteers??
23Plans
- Finalize current analyses, particularly higgs
sector - If IP studies in near future will require
changes? need to know this asap - High priority to start H/A SUSY particle
analysis, CP studies - Use synergy with NLC group/exchange of tools
- Indian group starts studying EDs in ?? and e?
(R. Godbole et al.). Expect first results by
Amsterdam - Additional meeting before Amsterdam
- February 13 _at_ CERN
- Plan to write up summary of the PC studies for
Amsterdam - At Amsterdam Plan a panel discussion on a PC
collider
24NLC studies overview
25D. Miller Determining the Spin of the H in ??
collisions
26H/A higgs
Can a photon collider close the wedge? Cross
section gets small For M(H/A) gt 600
GeV J.Gunion 2-4 years needed CP studies
Expect need to run of photon collider for
several years if the physics scenario warrants
it!

30The photon collider case
- Advantages
- Large cross sections (e.g. WW production cactor
20-40 times) - Large circular polarization e-e- beams (80) ? ?
(90-95 in peak) - Linear polarization (CP filter)
- Extended kinematic range for some new particles
- S-channel production for H, /association e.g.
slepton ? lepton?0 - Sometimes different couplings probed (no Z
effects) - Issues
- Luminosity spectrum spread (not monochromatic,
but much better than LHC). How precise can we
measure the spectrum/luminosity? - Luminosity typically factor 3 lower compared to
ee-(but yet not at limit) - Needs RD to proof it works as expected. ? plans
- More complicated IR
- Debate of backgrounds and its implication on
detector not yet finalized - Only few processes so far studied in (almost) all
experimental details, most important one ?? ?
Higgs
31The light Higgs
State of the art (M. Krawczyk)
All background under control? B-tagging different
in ???
32Background studies
Frequently asked question same b-tagging
efficiency as in ee- case?
K. Moenig et al. backgrounds studied for TESLA
IP layout
Study beam related background of hits in the
layers of the pixel Detector per bunch
crossing Incoherent pair production
essentially the same as for ee- Coherent pair
production under study Neutrons? Will be able
to answer this question soon
33Is a photon collider a hadron collider?
NO !
- The QCD background in a ?? collider can be large
- Eg. for Lgeom 1035 cm-2 s-1, 400 nb ??
cross section - ? 3 ?? events/bunch
crossing - Many events boosted and/or low mass no problems
- V. Telnov (TESLA TDR appendix) 1.5 central high
energy ?? events - for L??(z gt 0.8zmax) 1.1 .1034 cm-2 s-1
of jets (Et gt 5 GeV)
10-20 tracks/event ltETgt few GeV, tails up to
20-30 GeV Looks not so bad! (ADR, ST Malo
meeting) Common study with theorists and NLC
groups starting
? gt 80 mrad
? gt 250 mrad
34RD program
Europe RD for lasers in IP (10 size prototype
cavity planned) US Laser development at LLNL
Plan for SLC photon collider testbed at
SLAC (means reactiviating SLC/ Workshop
at SLAC Nov 21-23 02
Conclusion Photon collider will enrich the
program of an ee- machine We
cannot afford NOT to study it !
