Estimating nonlinear effects in forward dijet production in ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions at the LHC

Journal Article Kotko, P. ; Kutak, K. ; Sapeta, S. ; ... May 2017 - European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields

Using the framework that interpolates between the leading power limit of the color glass condensate and the high energy (or k _T ) factorization we calculate the direct component of the forward dijet production in ultra-peripheral Pb–Pb collisions atCMenergy 5.1 TeV per nucleon pair. The formalism is applicablewhen the average transversemomentum of the dijet system P _T is much bigger than the saturation scale Q _s , P _T >> Qs , while the imbalance of the dijet system can be arbitrary. The cross section is uniquely sensitive to theWeizsäcker–Williams (WW) unintegrated gluon distribution, which is far less known frommore »« less

Production of e+e- Pairs Accompanied by Nuclear Dissociation in Ultra-peripheral Heavy Ion Collisions

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Adams, J. ; Adler, C. ; Aggarwal, M.M. ; ... April 2004 - Physical Review C

We present the first data on e{sup +}e{sup -} pair production accompanied by nuclear breakup in ultra-peripheral gold-gold collisions at a center of mass energy of 200 GeV per nucleon pair. The nuclear breakup requirement selects events at small impact parameters, where higher-order corrections to the pair production cross section should be enhanced. We compare the pair kinematic distributions with two calculations: one based on the equivalent photon approximation, and the other using lowest-order quantum electrodynamics (QED); the latter includes the photon virtuality. The cross section, pair mass, rapidity and angular distributions are in good agreement with both calculations. Themore »« less

Dilepton and/or photon production in heavy ion collisions and the QCD phase transition

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Hung, C.M. ; Shuryak, E.V. July 1997 - Physical Review, C

We study the electromagnetic production from highly excited hadronic matter created in heavy ion collisions. The rates include the usual lowest order processes in quark-gluon plasma plus the usual reactions in the hadronic phase, related with {rho},a{sub 1} mesons. The space-time integration is done using a hydrodynamical model. Conventional {bar q}q ({pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}}) annihilation in quark-gluon plasma and hadronic phase cannot explain the observed dilepton spectrum, especially that by the CERES experiment at CERN. A decreased {rho} mass can account for the observed effect, provided it shifts into the region of 0.4{endash}0.5 GeV near the phase transition. In ordermore »« less

Coherence and incoherence in the photon and dilepton production by bremsstrahlung in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Lippert, T. ; Thiel, J. ; Grun, N. ; ... December 1991 - International Journal of Modern Physics A; (United States)

Due to the strong collective deceleration during the initial stage of relativistic heavy ion collisions, the nuclear matter irradiates real and virtual bremsstrahlung. This paper describes the process of bremsstrahlung emission in the framework of a semiclassical model in order to study coherence and incoherence effects in the production process. Guided by the intuitive notation of shock fronts being formed between the incident nuclei, we use a simple parametrization of the nuclear current density. The photon spectrum is studied up to photon energies of 300 MeV. In particular, a gradual transition from the coherent production process of low-energy photons tomore »« less
