Can RHIC be used to test QED
Three general subjects were addressed during the workshop. These subjects were: to understand the validity of the best available descriptions of e{sup +} e{sup {minus}} pair production in peripheral heavy ion collisions, especially for the domain where this process is known to be non-perturbative. To understand the prospects for using relativistic heavy ions to produce Higgs Bosons or Weak bosons (Z{sub 0}, W+, W{minus}). This production mechanism proceeds through the virtual two photon representation of the heavy ions, and is considered a reason for accelerating heavy ions in both the LHC and the SSC. To study the interference mechanisms between the two processes for hadron production in peripheral heavy ion collisions. These two processes are two photon exchange and two pomeron exchange.
