Ultra-relativistic peripheral collisions of heavy ions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can produce copies of numbers of lepton pairs via the two-photon process. Since the energies of the heavy ions are so high, multipair production cross sections of the light leptons, especially electrons, are quite large so that it is possible to measure them experimentally. To calculate the multipair production probabilities, first, we should have an impact parameter dependence cross section. We have obtained a well-behaved impact parameter dependence cross section and by using the Monte Carlo methods, we have calculated multipair production cross sections of electrons and muons in Pb-Pb heavy-ion collisions at LHC energies. We have also used some experimental restrictions in our calculation to compare our findings with the experimental results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
