The dynamics of an electron bunch irradiated by two focused colliding super-intense laser pulses and the resulting gamma and e(-)e(+) production are studied. Due to attractors of electron dynamics in a standing wave created by colliding pulses the photon emission and pair production, in general, are more efficient with linearly polarized pulses than with circularly polarized ones. The dependence of the key parameters on the laser intensity and wavelength allows us to identify the conditions for the cascade development and gamma e(-)e(+) plasma creation.
