  16. Conlcusion • Bragg scattering can enhance photon-photon scattering • A detection scheme has been proposed for the characterization of short γ-ray pulses in the GeV energy range based on pair creation. Sub-attosecond time resolution could be achieved with high-order harmonic generation in the upcoming ELI facility. "PW Lasers at Hard X-ray Sources" Dresden-Rossendorf, 7 Sep 2011
