Abstract
A new method has been considered to investigate the scattering reactions wi
th photons on fully ionized nuclei. To induce gamma-nucleus collisions a fr
ee-electron laser and a heavy-ion synchrotron have been considered by bring
ing them together. Main parameters of the collider (especially LHC and HERA
for the acceleration of nuclei) have been estimated. Rough calculations ha
ve also been made for the cross sections of the excited nuclei production.
Finally, some design problems involving the collider have been considered.
