Spectral and temporal signatures of ultrarelativistic protons in compact sources I . Effects of Bethe - Heitler pair production
We present calculations of the spectral and temporal radiative signatures expected from ultrarelativistic protons in compact sources. The coupling between the protons and the leptonic component is assumed to occur via Bethe-Heitler pair production. This process is treated by modeling the results of Monte-Carlo simulations and incorporating them in a time-dependent kinetic equation, that we subs...
متن کاملThe Bethe–Heitler Process in Polarized Photon–Nucleon Interactions
We calculate the Bethe–Heitler cross section for the production of lepton pairs in the field of a longitudinally polarized nucleon, taking into account the lepton masses and the target mass. This process is a dominant background to the detection of open charm from semi-leptonic decay modes, which is a potential probe of the polarized gluon distribution in the nucleon. The knowledge on the spin ...
متن کاملThe Bethe-Heitler Process as a Source of Muons
in high-energy photon interactions with a nucleus A, as recently suggested in [7] (slide 23). Of course, muon-pair production by this process is suppressed relative to electron-positron pair production by the ratio (me/mμ) 2 ≈ 1/40, 000, so there is an issue of the efficiency of muon production via reaction (1). The Bethe-Heitler process (1) is further suppressed near threshold, so it would be ...
متن کاملPair creation by a photon in a strong magnetic field
The process of pair creation by a photon in a strong magnetic field is investigated basing on the polarization operator in the field. The total probability of the process is found in a relatively simple form. The probability exhibits a ”saw-tooth” pattern because of divergences arising when the electron and positron are created at threshold of the Landau energy levels. The pattern will be washe...
متن کاملMuon-pair creation by two x-ray laser photons in the field of an atomic nucleus.
The generation of muon-antimuon pairs is calculated in the collision of an ultrarelativistic bare ion with an intense x-ray laser beam. The reaction proceeds nonlinearly via absorption of two laser photons. By systematic study throughout the nuclear chart, we show that the interplay between the nuclear charge and size, along with the possibility of nuclear excitation leads to saturation of the ...
