چکیده
We present here a brief overview of recent models describing the photon-photon cross-section into hadrons. We shall show in detail results from the eikonal minijet model, with and without soft gluon summation.

PHOTON-NUCLEUS TOTAL CROSS SECTIONSt
Quantitative predictions for the energy and A dependence of the nuclear photoabsorption cross section and inelastic electron-nucleus scattering are given. In general each nucleon does not contribute equally to the total photon-nucleus cross section when coherent contributions of photoproduced hadrons are taken into account. At low energies (E Y N 1 BeV) the cross sections are proportional to nu...
متن کاملSfermion production at photon colliders
We calculate total and differential cross sections for sfermion production in e+e− annihilation and in photon-photon collisions with arbitrary photon polarization. The total cross section at a polarized photon collider is shown to be larger than the e+e− annihilation cross section up to the kinematic limit of the photon collider.
متن کاملPHOTOPRODUCTION OFF NUCLEI AND POINT-LIKE PHOTON INTERACTIONS Part I: Cross Sections and Nuclear Shadowing
High energy photoproduction off nuclear targets is studied within the Glauber-Gribov approximation. The photon is assumed to interact as a qq̄-system according to the Generalized Vector Dominance Model and as a “bare photon” in direct scattering processes with target nucleons. We calculate total cross sections for interactions of photons with nuclei taking into account coherence length effects a...
متن کاملGlueball Production in Peripheral Heavy-Ion Collisions
The method of equivalent quanta is applied both to photon-photon and, by analogy, to double pomeron exchange in heavy-ion collisions. This WeizsäckerWilliams approach is used to calculate production cross sections for the glueball candidate fJ(1710) meson via photon-photon and pomeron-pomeron fusion in peripheral heavy-ion collisions at both RHIC and LHC energies. The impact-parameter dependenc...
متن کاملTotal Cross Sections and Event Properties from Real to Virtual Photons
A model for total cross sections with virtual photons is presented. In particular γp and γγ cross sections are considered. Our approach extends on a model for photoproduction, where the total cross section is subdivided into three distinct event classes: direct, VMD and anomalous. With increasing photon virtuality, the latter two decrease in importance. Instead Deep Inelastic Scattering dominat...
