Abstract
Photon-photon collisions will be a copious source of jets and single particles produced with large transverse momentum in storage rings. These jets and single particles have topological properties which allow them to be easily distinguished from annihilation events. They arise from several sources: (a) quark exchange in ,(b) quantum-chromodynamics induced processes such as and , with scattering via vector-gluon exchange, and (c) differential cross sections proportional to and at fixed and fixed characteristic of the constituent-interchange-model (CIM) picture. In particular, we predict nb Ge for GeV/c, characteristic of the simplest quark-exchange process, and nb Ge for GeV/c, characteristic of the CIM subprocess . Remarkably, the jet-trigger cross sections
