Description
Recent interest in a photon-photon collider as a possible Higgs factory has revived the question of what other physics that can be done with such machines. We demonstrate that the bb bar cross section, a large background to Higgs production at high energy photon colliders, has an uncertainty due to the resolved structure of the photon of nearly an order-of-magnitude. Hence, study of the resolved photon structure will be a compelling area of study at these machines.
