چکیده
We calculate the probability for dilepton production in central relativistic heavy ion collisions due to the γγ mechanism. This is a potential background to more interesting mechanisms. We find that this mechanism is negligible in the CERES experiments. Generally, the contribution due to this mechanism is small in the central region, while it can be large for small invariant masses and forward or backward rapidities. A simple formula based on the equivalent photon approximation and applications to a possible scenario at RHIC are also given. 25.75.-q;12.20.-m;34.50.-s Typeset using REVTEX 1

Scalar QED is used to study approximations in thermal field theory beyond the Hard Thermal Loop resummation scheme. For this purpose the photon self energy is calculated for external momenta of the order eT using Hard Thermal Loop resummed Green functions.

The hadroproduction of lepton pairs with mass Q and transverse momentum QT can be described in pertur-bative QCD by the same partonic subprocesses as prompt photon production. We demonstrate that, like prompt photon production, lepton pair production is dominated by quark-gluon scattering in the region QT > Q/2. This leads to sensitivity to the gluon density in kinematical regimes that are acce...

We study the production of jet events containing large rapidity gaps in particle colliders due to the resolved photon mechanism. In particular, we analize these events at DESY HERA and future e+e− linear colliders, including the possibility of γγ laser backscattering beams. These events allow the study of the perturbative pomeron in environments complementary to the hadronhadron colliders, and ...

This report on Photon Colliders briefly reviews three main issues: physics motivation, possible parameters and technical feasibility, plans of works and international cooperation. New scheme of laser optics at the interaction region is described which can drastically (at least by one order) reduce the cost of the laser system.

The working group on two photon physics concentrated on three main subtopics: modelling the hadronic final state of deep inelastic scattering on a photon; unfolding the deep inelastic scattering data to obtain the photon structure function; and resonant production of exclusive final states, particularly of glueball candidates. In all three areas, new results were presented.
