We discuss the physics of large impact parameter interactions at the LHC: ultraperipheral
collisions (UPCs). The dominant processes in UPCs are photon–nucleon (nucleus) …

▪ Abstract Moving highly-charged ions carry strong electromagnetic fields that act as a beam
of photons. In collisions at large impact parameters, hadronic interactions are not possible …

Due to coherence, there are strong electromagnetic fields of short duration in very peripheral
collisions. They give rise to photon–photon and photon–nucleus collisions with a high flux …

Impact parameter dependence of the azimuthal asymmetry in lepton pair production in heavy
ion collisions Page 1 Impact parameter dependence of the azimuthal asymmetry in lepton pair …

In recent years, a large number of papers have appeared that dealt with e+ e-pair production
in heavy ion collisions at high energies. To a large extent these studies were motivated by …

We consider the Coulomb correction (CC) to the e+ e− pair production related to multiphoton
exchange of the produced e±with nuclei. The contribution of CC to the energy distribution of …

An exact solution of the two center time-dependent Dirac equation for pair production
induced by ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions is presented. Cross sections to specific final …

The purpose of this paper is to explain the discrepancies existing in the literature relative to
e+ e− pair production in peripheral heavy ion collisions at ultra-relativistic energies. A …
