چکیده

Ionization, pair creation, and electron excitations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions are investigated in the framework of the coupled-channel formalisrn. Collisions between heavy projectiles and pb8*+ are considered for various bombarding energies in the region E =500 up to 2000 MeV/u. Useful symmetry relations for the matrix elements are derived and the influence of gauge transformations onto the coupled-channel equations is explored.

Photon-Photon and Photon-Hadron Interactions at Relativistic Heavy Ion Colliders

In central collisions at relativistic heavy ion colliders like the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider RHIC/Brookhaven and the Large Hadron Collider LHC (in its heavy ion mode) at CERN/Geneva, one aims at detecting a new form of hadronic matter — the Quark Gluon Plasma. We discuss here a complementary aspect of these collisions, the very peripheral ones. Due to coherence, there are strong electroma...

80 09 v 1 8 A ug 1 99 4 Higher order processes in electromagnetic production of electron positron pairs in relativistic heavy ion collisions

We study higher-order effects in the electromagnetic production of electronpositron pairs in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Treating the field of the heavy ions as an external field and neglecting the interaction among electrons and positrons, we show that the N -pair creation amplitude is the antisymmetrised product of N one-pair creation amplitudes and the vacuum amplitude. Neglecting con...

Bremsstrahlung from Electrons and Positrons in Peripheral Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

We study the spectrum of the bremsstrahlung photons coming from the electrons and positrons, which are produced in the strong electromagnetic fields present in peripheral relativistic heavy ion collisions. We compare different approaches, making use of the exact pair production cross section in heavy ion collisions as well as the double equivalent photon approximation. 25.75.-q,13.40.-f Typeset...

Exact Dirac equation calculation of ionization and pair production induced by ultrarelativistic heavy ions

An exact solution of the time-dependent Dirac equation for ionization and pair production induced by ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions is presented. Exact transition probabilities, equivalent to those that would be obtained in an untruncated basis coupled channels calculation, are presented. Exact bound-electron positron pair production probabilities are calculated to be mostly smaller tha...
