The proceedings blend current and future two-photon physics. Developments since the last Photon-Photon Workshop four years ago are summarized, and the future of the field is projected, not only at existing accelerators, but also at heavy-ion colliders B-factories, and especially linear colliders with back-scattered laser beams.
This volume reports on all aspects of high energy photon interactions using both photon and proton targets. Significant new results from the LEP and HERA experiments as well as from CLEO II and BELLE are presented. These data are confronted with diverse theoretical models. In particular, predictions of QCD in both the perturbative and the non-perturbative sector are extensively discussed. The prospects for gamma-gamma physics at future high energy colliders are also reviewed. In total 72 papers are collected.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: ?

The collisions of high energy photons produced at a electron-positron collider provide a comprehensive laboratory for testing QCD, electroweak interactions and extensions of the standard model. The luminosity and energy of the colliding photons produced by back-scattering laser beams is expected to be comparable to that of the primary e[sup +]e[sup [minus]] collisions. In this overview, we shall focus on tests of electroweak theory in photon-photon annihilation, particularly [gamma][gamma] [yields] W[sup +]W[sup [minus]], [gamma][gamma] [yields] Higgs bosons, and higher-order loop processes, such as [gamma][gamma] [yields] [gamma][gamma], Z[gamma] and ZZ. Since each photon can be resolved into a W[sup +]W[sup minus] pair, high energy photon-photon collisions can also provide a remarkably background-free laboratory for studying WW collisions and annihilation. We also review high energy [gamma][gamma] tests of quantum chromodynamics, such as the scaling of the photon structure function, t[bar t] production, mini-jet processes, and diffractive reactions.
