Compton sources for the observation of elastic photon-photon scattering events

We present the design of a photon-photon collider based on conventional Compton gamma sources for the observation of elastic γγ scattering. Two symmetric electron beams, generated by photocathodes and accelerated in linacs, produce two primary gamma rays through Compton backscattering with two high...
