Heavy meson production at a low-energy photon collider

A low-energy $\gamma\gamma$ collider has been discussed in the context of a testbed for a $\gamma\gamma$ interaction region at the Next Linear Collider (NLC). We consider the production of heavy mesons at such a testbed using Compton-backscattered photons and demonstrate that their production rivals or exceeds those by BELLE, BABAR or LEP where they are produced indirectly via virtual $\gamma\gamma$ luminosities.
