Glueball Production In Peripheral Heavy-Ion Collisions, Alec Schramm
Glueball Production In Peripheral Heavy-Ion Collisions, Alec Schramm
Alec J Schramm
The method of equivalent quanta is applied both to photon-photon and, by analogy, to double pomeron exchange in heavy-ion collisions. This Weizsäcker-Williams approach is used to calculate production cross sections for the glueball candidate fJ(1710) meson via photon-photon and pomeron-pomeron fusion in peripheral heavy-ion collisions at both RHIC and LHC energies. The impact parameter dependence for total and elastic cross sections is presented, and compared with results for proton-proton collisions.
