Review on photon-photon collisions in electron storage rings

Description

The historical evolution of the idea of photon-photon collisions in electron storage rings is described, as well as the main characteristics of these processes (cross sections, background rejection, effects of kinematic cuts, physical interest). Both old and recent experimental results (from VEPP-2, ADONE, DORIS and DCI) obtained in this field are shown. The crucial problem of electron tagging near 00 is specially discussed. To finish, it is briefly dealed with prospects of photon-photon collision experiments in the future, involving e+e- colliding beams of very high energy (PEP, PETRA, LEP)

Abstract (French)

On decrit l'historique de l'idee des collisions photon-photon dans les anneaux de stockage d'electrons, ainsi que les principales caracteristiques de ces processus (sections efficaces, rejet des bruits de fond, effets des coupures cinematiques, interet physique). On montre les resultats experimentaux anciens (VEPP-2, ADONE) et recents (DORIS, DCI) deja obtenus en ce domaine. Le probleme crucial de l'etiquetage des electrons a 00 est specialement discute. Pour conclure, on evoque brievement les perspectives d'avenir des collisions photon-photon aupres des anneaux de tres haute energie (PEP, PETRA, projet LEP)
