QCD at Photon Colliders

Abstract

The novel possibilities of probing the photon structure and high energy limit of QCD at photon colliders are summarised. We discuss the photon structure function $F_2^{\gamma }(x,Q^2)$, the gluon distribution in the photon and the spin dependent structure function $g_1^{\gamma }(x,Q^2)$ of the photon and emphasise advantages of the photon colliders for measuring these quantities. The possibility of probing the QCD pomeron and odderon in $\gamma \gamma$ and $e\gamma$ collisions is also described.
