Threshold effects on heavy quark production inγγinteractions

Abstract
The exchange of gluons between heavy quarks produced in e+e interactions results in an enhancement of their production near threshold. We study QCD threshold effects in γγ collisions. The results are relevant to heavy quark production by beamstrahlung and laser backscattering in future linear collider experiments. Detailed predictions for top-, bottom-, and charm-quark production are presented.
