چکیده
We present the first completely analytical computationof the full differentialγ-γ pair production rate fromcompact radiation fields, exact to 2nd order QED, and use this result to investigate the validity of previously known approximations.

QCD corrections to the production of a heavy quark pair plus a hard photon in e+e− annihilation
We present complete results for the O(αs) corrections to the production of a heavy quark pair plus a hard photon, in e+e− annihilation, including both photon and Z intermediate states. Virtual corrections are calculated analytically in 4−2ǫ dimensions, together with the soft approximation to the real emission diagrams. After cancellation of infrared divergences, real and virtual contributions a...
متن کاملTWO PHOTON TRANSITIONS IN THE OPTOGALVANIC SPECTRUM OF NEON
Seventeen two-photon transitions for neon have been observed in the 580- 635 nm spectral region for use in the spectroscopic study of its higher excited levels, which are not accessible by one-photon absorption. To compare the two and one-photon absorption signals originating from the same lower level, an effort was made to record single-photon optogalvanic spectrum in the available wavele...
متن کاملPhoton - Photon Collisions at the Next Linear Collider : Theory
The collisions of photons at a high energy electron-positron collider provide a comprehensive laboratory for testing QCD, electroweak interactions, and extensions of the standard model. It is expected that by using back-scattered laser beams, that the effective luminosity and, energy of photon-photon collisions will be comparable to that of the primary c+e-collisions. In this talk, I will focus...
متن کاملQcd Physics Opportunities in Low-energy Electron-positron Annihilation∗
I survey a number of interesting tests of quantum chromodynamics at the amplitude level which can be carried out in electron-positron annihilation and in photon-photon collisions at low energy. Some of the tests require e+e− center of mass energy as small as √ s = 2 GeV. Other tests which involve a spectrum of energies can be carried out advantageously at high energy facilities using the radiat...
متن کاملHigh Energy Photon–photon Collisions at a Linear Collider∗
High intensity back-scattered laser beams will allow the efficient conversion of a substantial fraction of the incident lepton energy into high energy photons, thus significantly extending the physics capabilities of an ee linear collider. The annihilation of two photons produces C = + final states in virtually all angular momentum states. An important physics measurement is the measurement of ...
