Higgs-Boson Production In Peripheral Heavy-Ion Collisions: Electromagnetic Production, Alec Schramm, Burndt Muller
Alec J Schramm
Higgs-boson production via fusion of two virtual photons in nuclear collisions at energies of several TeV per nucleon is calculated. It is shown that although a trigger on quasielastic nuclear collisions suppresses the Higgs-boson production cross section, this mechanism could still provide a method for producing and detecting intermediate-mass Higgs bosons (MZ≲MH≲2MW).

The Zero Momentum Limit Of The Vacuum Polarization At Finite Temperature, Ps Gribosky, Br Holstein
Barry R Holstein
We examine the zero momentum limit of the finite temperature vacuum polarization for a quantized scalar field coupled to a classical external field. Ordinarily, this type of Feynman diagram is plagued by nonanalytic behaviour when the external momentum tends to zero. Using imaginary-time, we show that this behaviour is not present in an exact background field solution and how the Feynman diagram calculation may be trivially modified to match the exact solution. Comparisons with recent real-time results are also made.
