Abstract

We study the photoproduction process of dileptons in heavy ion collision at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energys. The equivalent photon approximation, which equates the electromagnetic field of high-energy charged particles to the virtual photon flux, is used to calculate the processes of dileptons production. The numerical results demonstrate that the experimental study of dileptons in ultra-peripheral collisions is feasible at RHIC and LHC energies.
