Pomeron Odderon interference in production of pi+ pi- pairs at LHC

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-07-01 v1

Abstract

We discuss the production of two pion pairs in photon collisions at high energies as it can take place in ultraperipheral collisions at hadron colliders such as the LHC. We calculate the according matrix elements in kT factorization and discuss the possibility to reveal the existence of the perturbative Odderon by charge asymmetries.
