photon-photon collisions via heavy ion beams at LHC
The cross sections for the production of hadrons in quasi real photonphoton collisions in heavy ion interactions are compared with the corresponding cross sections for central diffraction. The signatures, heavy ions with only slightly changed momenta together with two large rapidity gaps and a cluster of produced hadrons in the central region, are nearly identical in both processes. Therefore, ...
متن کاملPhoton Scattering in Muon Collisions
We estimate the benefit of muon colliders for photon physics. We calculate the rate at which photons are emitted from muon beams in different production mechanisms. Bremsstrahlung is reduced, beamstrahlung disappears, and laser backscattering suffers from a bad conversion of the incoming to the outgoing photon beam in addition to requiring very short wavelengths. As a consequence, the cross sec...
متن کاملPerspectives for inclusive quarkonium production in photon-photon collisions at the LHC
In a few months the LHC will start operating and provide physicists with a tremendous amount of new experimental information on the fundamental particles and their interactions. In this context, much is expected from the LHC to elucidate the still ill-understood quarkonium production mechanism (see [1,2,3] for recent reviews). This is of particular importance in view of the possible suppression...
متن کاملPhoton Physics at LHC
Experimental prospects for studying high-energy photon-photon and photon-proton interactions at the lhc are discussed. Assuming a typical lhc multipurpose detector, various signals and their irreducible backgrounds are presented after applying acceptance cuts. Selection strategies based on photon interaction tagging techniques are presented. Prospects are discussed for the Higgs boson search, d...
متن کاملPhoton Production at the Lhc
We review the lastest results on photon production at the LHC by the ATLAS and CMS experiments obtained in proton-proton collisions with a center of mass energy of 7 TeV in 2010 and 2011, corresponding to a maximum integrated luminosity of 5 fb−1. We compare the prompt photon and photon-jet differential cross sections to theoretical predictions and discuss their impact on the parton distributio...
