Alec J. Schramm
TL;DR
This paper applies the equivalent quanta method to calculate the production cross sections of the glueball candidate $f_J(1710)$ in peripheral heavy-ion collisions, comparing photon-photon and pomeron-pomeron fusion at RHIC and LHC energies.
Contribution
It introduces a novel application of the Weizs"acker-Williams approach to estimate glueball production in heavy-ion collisions via photon and pomeron fusion.
Findings
Calculated cross sections for $f_J(1710)$ production at RHIC and LHC.
Compared impact-parameter dependence with proton-proton collisions.
Provided predictions for experimental detection of glueballs.
Abstract
The method of equivalent quanta is applied both to photon-photon and, by analogy, to double pomeron exchange in heavy-ion collisions. This Weizs\"acker-Williams approach is used to calculate production cross sections for the glueball candidate 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 are presented, and are compared to results for proton-proton collisions.
