Abstract
Linear colliders offer a unique opportunity to study gamma gamma and g amma e interactions. Using the laser backscattering method one can obt ain gamma gamma, gamma e colliding beams with an energy and luminosity comparable to that in e(+)e(-) collisions. This work is part of the C onceptual Design of TESLA/SBLC linear colliders considering a second i nteraction region for gamma gamma and gamma e collisions. We consider here possible physics in high-energy gamma gamma, gamma e collisions, e --> gamma conversion, requirements to lasers, collision schemes, att ainable luminosities, backgrounds, possible lasers, optics al the inte raction region and other associated problems.
