Equivalent photon approach to simultaneous excitation in heavy ion collision.
We apply the Equivalent Photon Approximation to calculate cross sections for the simultaneous excitation of two heavy ions in relativistic collisions. We study especially the excitation of two nuclei to a 1-state and show that the equations are symmetric with respect to both ions. We also examine the limit in which the excitation energy of one of the nuclei goes to zero, which gives the elastic...
متن کاملQuantum-mechanical equivalent-photon spectrum for heavy-ion physics.
In a previous paper, we calculated the fully quantum-mechanical cross section for electromagnetic excitation during peripheral heavy-ion collisions. Here, we examine the sensitivity of that cross section to the detailed structure of the projectile and target nuclei. At the transition energies relevant to nuclear physics, we find the cross section to be weakly dependent on the projectile charge ...
متن کاملSimultaneous projectile-target excitation in heavy ion collisions.
We calculate the lowest-order contribution to the cross section for simultaneous excitation of projectile and target nuclei in relativistic heavy ion collisions. This process is, to leading order, non-classical and adds incoherently to the well-studied semi-classical Weizsäcker-Williams cross section. While the leading contribution to the cross section is down by only 1/Z P from the semiclassic...
متن کاملBound-free pair production cross section in heavy-ion colliders from the equivalent photon approach
Abstract. Exact calculations of the electron-positron pair production by a single photon in the Coulomb field of a nucleus with simultaneous capture of the electron into the K-shell are discussed for different nuclear charges. Using the equivalent photon method of Weizsäcker and Williams, a simple expression for the bound-free production of ee pairs by colliding very-high-energy fully stripped ...
متن کاملheavy ion collision
A model for energy, pressure and flow velocity distributions at the beginning of ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions is presented, which can be used as an initial condition for hydrodynamic calculations. Our model takes into account baryon recoil for both target and projectile, arising from the acceleration of partons in an effective field, F µν , produced in the collision. The typical fiel...
