Matter from light-light scattering via Breit-Wheeler events produced by two interacting Compton sources

We present the dimensioning of a photon-photon collider based on Compton gamma sources for the observation of Breit-Wheeler pair production and QED γγ events. Two symmetric electron beams, generated by photocathodes and accelerated in linacs, produce two gamma ray beams through Compton back scatteri...
