ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 3 α c ~25 mrad ω max ~0.8 E 0 W γγ, max ~ 0.8·2E 0 W γe, max ~ 0.9·2E 0 b~γσ y ~ 1 mm GKST 1981

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 4 The electron polarization increases the number of high energy photons nearly by factor of 2 ).

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 5 Ideal luminosity distributions, monohromatization (a e is the radius of the electron beam at the IP, b is the CP-IP distance) Electron polarization increases the γγ luminosity in the high energy peak up to a factor of ~3 (at large x).

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 6 Highest energy scattered photons are polarized even at λ e =0 (see (b))

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 7 Linear polarization of photons σ  1 ± l γ1 l γ2 cos 2φ ± for CP=±1 Linear polarization allows to measure Higgs CP mixture and helps to separate SUSY H and A Higgs bosons

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 8 Realistic luminosity spectra (  and  e ) ( with account multiple Compton scattering, beamstrahlung photons and beam-beam collision effects) (decomposed in two states of J z ) Usually a luminosity at the photon collider is defined as the luminosity in the high energy peak, z>0.8z m. L γγ (z>0.8z m ) ~0.1 L e-e- (geom) For ILC conditions (but cross sections in γγ are larger than in e+e- by one order!) (ILC)

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 9 γγ luminosity spectra with cuts on the longitudinal momentum

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 10 Physics at PLC Physics at PLC was discussed so many times (>1000 papers), it is difficult to add something essential. Most of examples were connected with production of the Higgs bosons or SUSY particles, e.t.c. By now, only the light (standard) Higgs boson is discover.

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 11 Higgs decay branchings

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 12 μ(for γγ ) ≡  /  SM = 0.77±0.27 Higgs to γγ at CMS H→γγ

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 13 Higgs to γγ at ATLAS

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 14 The resonance Higgs production is one of the gold-plated processes for PLC This process is most sensitive to a new physics (high mass particles in the loop) For realistic ILC conditions σ(γγ→H)≈ 75 fb (in terms of L ee ), while σ(e + e - →HZ)≈ 290 fb in e+e- N(H→ γγ )∞ σ(e + e - →HZ)*Br(H→ γγ )L, where Br(H → γγ )= in γγ N(H →γγ )∞ σ( γγ →H)*Br(H→ bb ) L, where Br(H→ bb)=0.57 Conclusion: in γγ collisions the Г(H→γγ) width can be measured with statistics (75*0.57)/(290*0.0024) ≈ 60 times higher than in e+e- collisions. This is one of most important argument for the photon collider (for Higgs study).

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 15 Remark on Photon collider Higgs factories Photon collider can measure Г(H→γγ)*Br(H→bb, ZZ,WW), Г 2 (H→γγ)/Г tot, CP properties (using photon polarizations). In order to get Г(H→γγ) one needs Br(H→bb) from e+e-(accuracy about 1%). As result the accuracy of Г(H→γγ) is about 1.5-2% after one years of operation. Can not measure cc, ττ, μμ due to large QED background. e+e- can also measure Br (bb, cc, gg, ττ, μμ, invisible), Г tot, less backgrounds due to tagging of Z. Therefore PLC is nicely motivated in combination with e+e-: parallel work or second stage.

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 16 Measurement of the Higgs CP-properties Varying initial state photon polarizations one can measure the Higgs CP value with 5-10% accuracy after one year of operation. (In e+e- collisons CP-violation can be measured only using particle correlations in final states)

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 17 unpolarized beams So, typical cross sections for charged pair production in γγ collisions is larger than in e + e - by one order of magnitude (circular polarizations helps) polarized beams scalars (in addition to H(125))

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 18 Supersymmetry in  For some SUSY parameters H,A can be seen only in γγ ( but not in e+e- and LHC)

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 20 Physics motivation for PLC (independent on physics scenario) (shortly) In ,  e collisions compared to e + e - 1.the energy is smaller only by 10-20% 2.the number of events is similar or even higher 3.access to higher particle masses (H,A in γγ, charged and light neutral SUSY in γe) 4.higher precision for some phenomena ( Γ γγ, CP-proper.) 5.different type of reactions (different dependence on theoretical parameters) It is an unique case when the same collider allows to study new physics in several types of collisions at the cost of rather small additional investments

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 21 Photon collider at ILC

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 22 The photon collider at ILC (TESLA) has been developed in detail at conceptual level, all simulated, all reported and published (TESLA TDR (2001), etc. The conversion region: optimization of conversion, laser scheme. The interaction region: luminosity spectra and their measure- ment, optimization of luminosity, stabilization of collisions, removal of disrupted beams, crossing angle, beam dump, backgrounds. The laser scheme (optical cavity) was considered by experts, there is no stoppers. Recently LLNL started work on LIFE lasers for thermonuclear plant which seems very attractive (one pass laser). Further developments need political decisions and finances.

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 23 At present it is important to make the ILC design compatible with the photon collider. Now for e+e- the crossing angle α c =14 mrad For photon collider one needs α c ~25 mrad (because larger disruption angles) Dependence of L γγ on α c : 25 mrad 1 23 mrad ~ mrad ~ mrad ~0 CLIC needs 20 mrad. So, the ILC team should change α c =14 to mrad in order to have in future the possibility of CLIC and PLC in the same tunnel ! Crossing angle

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 24 Requirements for laser Wavelength ~1 μm (good for 2E<0.8 TeV) Time structure Δct~100 m, 3000 bunch/train, 5 Hz Flash energy ~5-10 J Pulse length ~1-2 ps If a laser pulse is used only once, the average required power is P~150 kW and the power inside one train is 30 MW! Fortunately, only part of the laser photons is knocked out in one collision with the electron beam, therefore the laser bunch can be used many times. The best is the scheme with accumulation of very powerful laser bunch is an external optical cavity. The pulse structure at ILC (3000 bunches in the train with inter-pulse distance ~100 m) is very good for such cavity. It allows to decrease the laser power by a factor of

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 25 Laser system The cavity includes adaptive mirrors and diagnostics. Optimum angular divergence of the laser beam is ±30 mrad, A≈9 J (k=1), σ t ≈ 1.3 ps, σ x,L ~7 μm

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov Hz, kJ/pulse, 130 kW aver. power Project LIFE, LLNL Recently, new option has appeared, one pass diode pumped laser system, based on a new laser ignition thermonuclear facility (the pulse can be split into the ILC train) old (NIF)new(LIFE), V=31 m 3

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 27 Laser diodes cost go down at mass production, that makes one pass laser system for PLC at ILC and CLIC realistic! Laser for PLC cost ~ 3 M$

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 28 Photon collider at CLIC

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 29 Laser system for CLIC Requirements to a laser system for PLC at CLIC (500) Laser wavelength ~ 1 μm (5 for 2E=3000 GeV) Flash energy A~5 J Number of bunches in one train 354 Length of the train 177 ns=53 m Distance between bunches 0.5 nc Repetition rate 50 Hz The train is too short for the optical cavity, so one pass laser should be used. The average power of one laser is 90 kW (two lasers 180 kW).

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov Hz, kJ/pulse, 130 kW aver. power Project LIFE, LLNL One pass laser system, developed for LIFE (LLNL) is well suited for CLIC photon collider (the pulse can be split into the CLIC train)

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 31 Photon collider Higgs factory SAPPHiRE

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 32 Aug. 2012

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 33 The scheme is based on LHeC electron ring, but shorter bunches and somewhat higher energy, 80 GeV (extra arc) Scale ~ European XFEL ~ 1 Billion ???

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 34 Some critical remarks on SAPPHIRE 1.The emittance dilution in arcs. 2.Need low emittance polarized electron guns. Several labs are working on low emittance polarized RF guns, there is a good progress and results will appear soon. 3. The length of the ring 9 km (2.2 km linac, 70 km ! arcs). The “usual” warm LC with G=50 MeV/m would have L~4 km total length and can work with smaller emittances and thus can have a higher luminosity. Where is a profit?

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov The PLC with E=80 GeV and λ=1.06/3 μm (x=4.6) have very low energy final electrons, this courses very large disruption angles. Namely due to this reason for TESLA (ILC) we always considered the Higgs factory with E=110 GeV and λ=1.06 μm (x=2). In addition, at E=110 GeV the product of linear polarizations is 3 times larger (9 times smaller running time for obtaining the same accuracy for CP parameter). The energies E>100 GeV are not possible at ring colliders like Sapphire due to unacceptable emittance dilution and the energy spread (the emittance increases is proportional to E 6 /R 4 ) 5. It is obvious that e+e- is better for the Higgs study, there is no chance to get support of physics community, if this collider is instead of e+e-(worse that precursor).

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 36 Sapphire PC has stimulated many other proposals of ring gamma-gamma Higgs factories:

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 37 HFiTT – Higgs Factory in Tevatron Tunnel W. Chou, G. Mourou, N. Solyak, T. Tajima, M. Velasco The total number of beamlines in the tunnel will be 16, with the total length of approximately 96 km. The eight arcs would be stacked one on top another, so electrons will jump up and down, by up to 1.5 m, 16 times per turn, 128 times in total. The vertical emittance will be completely destroyed on such “mountains”! C=6 km Electrons get full energy after 8 turns

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 38 Fiber Lasers -- Significant breakthrough Gerard Mourou et al., “The future is fiber accelerators,” Nature Photonics, vol 7, p.258 (April 2013). HFiTT needs 5 J at ~40kHz! ICAN – International Coherent Amplification Network Laser for HFiTT

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 44 Plasma people also like photon collders, because acceleration of electron is much easier than positrons

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 45 My dreams of γγ factories (PLC based on ILC, with very low emittances, without damping rings)

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 46 Factors limiting γγ,γe luminosities So, one needs: ε nx, ε ny as small as possible and β x, β y ~ σ z Collision effects: Coherent pair creation ( γγ) Beamstrahlung ( γe) Beam-beam repulsion ( γe) On the right figure: the dependence of γγ and γe luminosities in the high energy peak vs the horizontal beam size (σ y is fixed). At the ILC nominal parameters of electron beams σ x ~ 300 nm is available at 2E 0 =500 GeV, but PLC can work even with ten times smaller horizontal beam size. Telnov,1998 (ILC)

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 47 Production of beams with low transverse emittances: (Method is based on beam combining in the longitudinal phase space) V.Telnov, LWLC10, CERN Let us compare longitudinal emittances needed for ILC with those in RF guns. At the ILC σ E /E~0.3% at the IP (needed for focusing to the IP), the bunch length σ z ~0.03 cm, E min ~75 GeV that gives the required normalized emittance ε nz  (σ E /mc 2 )σ z ~15 cm In RF guns σ z ~0.1 cm (example) and σ E ~ 10 keV, that gives ε nz ~2·10 -3 cm, or 7500 times smaller than required for ILC! So, photoguns have much smaller longitudinal emittances than it is needed for linear collider (both e+e- or γγ). How can we use this fact ?

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 48 Let us combine many low charge, low emittance beams from photo-guns to one bunch using some differences in their energies. The longitudinal emittance increases approximately proportionally to the number of combined bunches while the transverse emittance (which is most important) remains almost constant. A proposed method It is assumed that at the ILC initial micro bunches with small emittances are produced as trains by one photo gun.

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 49 Scheme of combining one bunch from the bunch train (for ILC) (64→1)

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 50 Beam parameters: N=2·10 10 (Q~3 nC), σ z =0.4 mm Damping rings(RDR): ε nx =10 -3 cm, ε ny =3.6·10 -6 cm, β x =0.4 cm, β y =0.04 cm, RF-gun (Q=3/64 nC) ε nx ~10 -4 cm, ε ny =10 -6 cm, β x =0.1 cm, β y =0.04 cm, The ratio of geometric luminosities L RFgun /L DR =~10 Hopes So, with polarized RF-guns one can get the luminosity ~10 times higher than with DR.

ICHEP-2014, July 5, 2014 Valery Telnov 51 Conclusion Photon colliders have sense as a very cost effective addition for e+e- colliders: as the LC second stage or as the second IP (preferable). PLC at ILC is conceptually clear, it is important to change of the crossing angle from 14 to ~23-25 mrad to make ILC compatible with PLC. Due to the LIFE project one pass laser scheme becomes very attractive (easier than the optical cavity). PLC at CLIC is more difficult due to much shorter trains. However LIFE help here as well. Ring photon colliders, like SAPPHIRE and HFiTT does not look realistic due to technical problems, restriction on energy and absence of e+e- collisions. Photon colliders for Higgs study without e+e- have not sufficient physics case. PLC without damping rings seems possible, could have even higher (or much higher) luminosity, needs further study. That could open the way to γγ factories, to precision measurement of the Higgs self coupling, etc (if there is any new physics in the sub-TeV region).
