N2 - Recently, a γγ collider based on the existing 17.5 GeV linac of the European XFEL has been proposed. High-energy photons will be generated by Compton scattering of laser photons with a wavelength of 0.5–1 μm on electrons. Such a photon collider covers the range of invariant masses Wγγ< 12 GeV/c2 . The physics program includes spectroscopy of C -even resonances (c-, b-quarkonia, 4-quark states, glueballs) in various JP states. Variable circular and linear polarizations will help in determining the quantum numbers. In this paper, we present a summary of measured and predicted two-photon widths of various resonances in the mass region 3–12 GeV/c2 and investigate the experimental possibility of observing these heavy two-photon resonances under the conditions of a large multi-hadron background. Registration of all final particles is assumed. The minimum values of Γγγ(W) are obtained at which resonances can be detected at a 5 σ confidence level in 1 year of operation.
