Predictions for the $\gamma \gamma$ total cross-section in the TeV region: an update

In this talk we present an update of model predictions for the $\gamma \gamma$ total cross-section in the TeV region. The update includes preliminary results for $\gamma \gamma$ cross-sections using the Bloch-Nordsieck model for the overlap function of the partons in the transverse space, use of the CJLK parametrisation of the photonic parton densities that has recently become available and extension to the higher $\gamma \gamma$ energies relevant to the planned CLIC collider.
