The equivalent photon approximation for coherent processes at colliders
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider coherent electromagnetic processes for colliders with short bunches, in particular the coherent bremsstrahlung (CBS). CBS is the radiation of one bunch particles in the collective field of the oncoming bunch. It can be a potential tool for optimizing collisions and for measuring beam parameters. A new simple and transparent method to calculate CBS is presented based on the equivalent photon approximation for this collective field. The results are applied to the φ–factory DAΦNE. For this collider about 5 · 10dEγ/Eγ photons per second are expected in the photon energy Eγ range from the visible light up to 25 eV.

Large transverse momentum direct photon production in the coherent diffractive processes at hadron colliders
Direct photon production at large transverse momentum in the coherent diffractive processes at hadron colliders is calculated in the two-gluon exchange model. We find that the amplitude for the production process is related to the differential off-diagonal gluon distribution function in the proton. We estimate the production rate at the Fermilab Tevatron by approximately using the usual gluon d...

It has been recognized that e+epair creation during the collision of intense beams in linear colliders will cause potential background problems for high energy experiments. Detailed knowledge of the angular-momentum spectrum of these low energy pairs is essential to the design of the interaction region. In this paper, we modify the computer code ABEL(Analysis of Beam-beam Effects in Linear coll...

Due to coherence, there are strong electromagnetic fields of short duration in very peripheral heavy ion collisions. They give rise to photon-photon and photon-nucleus collisions with high flux up to an invariant mass region hitherto unexplored experimentally. Photon-photon and photon-hadron physics at various invariant mass scales are discussed. Due to the very strong electromagnetic fields th...
