Ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions in Run3 - verification of what we know or new physics?
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.31349/SuplRevMexFis.4.021131Keywords:
RHIC; CERN-LHC laboratory; measurable kinematic variables; reaction mechanismAbstract
The theoretical predictions presented in this work are integral to the ongoing and planned experiments at RHIC and CERN-LHC laboratory. The innovation of the research lies in the possibility of making distributions of many measurable kinematic variables, which are often key to better understanding the reaction mechanism, rather than being limited to presenting only the value of the total cross section. The presented aspect of the research can be used to plan future experiments as well as to interpret already existing experimental results. The correctness of the results is strongly influenced by the type of nuclear form factor used.
