Bremsstrahlung Pair Production In Relativistic Heavy Ion Collision

Nuclear Theory 2011-09-13 v1

Abstract

We calculate production of electron- and muon-pairs by the bremsstrahlung process in hadron collisions and compare it with the dominant two-photon process. Results for the total cross section are given for proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions at energies of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
