Bound-free pair production in heavy-ion collisions at high energies
arXiv:1512.02060
Abstract
The electromagnetic process of bound-free electron pair production in heavy-ion collisions at high energies is reviewed. The importance of this process for producing secondary beams is outlined. Single free electron pair production is presented, and the bound-free pair production process is introduced. Double pair production is discussed, and an estimate of the bound-free pair constrained photon-photon luminosity is given.
