It is proposed to place the arcs of an SLC-type facility inside the tunnel of a Future Circular Collider (FCC). Accelerated by a linear accelerator (linac), electron and positron beams would traverse the bending arcs in opposite directions and collide at centre-of-mass energies considerably exceeding those attainable at circular e e + − colliders. The proposed SLC-type facility would have the same luminosity as a conventional two-linac e e + − collider. Using an optical free-electron laser, the facility could be converted into a γγ collider. A superconducting L-band linac at the proposed facility may form a part of the injector chain for a 100-TeV proton collider in the FCC tunnel. The whole accelerator complex would serve as a source of e e + − , γγ , pp and ep interactions. The L-band linac could also be used to produce high-intensity neutrino, kaon and muon beams for fixed-target experiments, as well as X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) photons for applications in material science and medicine.

“…The Photon Collider will considerably contribute to the detailed understanding of new phenomena, and in some scenarios it is the best instrument for the discovery of elements of NP. In particular, the e − γ collision can produce particles which are kinematically not accessible at e + e − collisions at the same collider [7,9]. Moreover, the high energy photon polarization can vary relatively easily, which is advantageous for experiments.…”

The new lightest gauge boson B H with mass of a few hundred GeV is predicted in the littlest Higgs model. B H should be accessible in the planed ILC and the observation of such particle can strongly support the littlest Higgs model. The realization of γγ and eγ collision will open a wider window to probe B H . In this paper, we study the new gauge boson B H production processes e − γ → e − γB H and e − γ → e − ZB H at the ILC. Our results show that the production cross section of the process e − γ → e − ZB H is less than one fb in the most parameter spaces while the production cross section of the process e − γ → e − γB H can reach the level of tens fb and even hundreds of fb in the sizable parameter spaces allowed by the electroweak precision data. With the high luminosity, the sufficient typical signals could be produced, specially via e − γ → e − γB H .Because the final electron and photon beams can be easily identified and the signal can be easily distinguished from the background produced by Z and H decaying, B H should be detectable via eγ collision at the ILC. Therefore, the processes e − γ → e − γB H and e − γ → e − ZB H provide a useful way to detect B H and test the littlest Higgs model.
