This work presents an approach to improve the precision of polarized photon-photon collisions simulation implemented in the SANCphot package. The basic linear Compton approximation of the incoming photon spectrum is extended to a general energy distribution and a realistic description of circular or linear polarizations as expected to be seen at photon-photon colliders.
mcsanc is a Monte-Carlo tool based on the SANC (Support for Analytic and Numeric Calculations for experiments at colliders) modules for higher order calculations in hadron collider physics. It allows to evaluate NLO QCD and EW cross sections for Drell-Yan processes (inclusive), associated Higgs and gauge boson production and single-top quark production in s- and t-channel. The paper contains theoretical description of the SANC approach, numerical validations and manual.
