Bound-free electron-positron pair production mechanism at an electron-ion collider

OpenAlex İngilizce

The aims of building electron-ion colliders (EICs) are to reach high collision luminosity and polarization, to search on the structure and the interactions of gluon-matter, to investigate the spin structure of matter, to probe the behavior of parton densities in the nuclear medium, and to study and to test quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In this work, we have calculated the cross-sections of the ion beam loss mechanism at EICs via bound-free pair production (BFPP) mechanism. The BFPP is important for the detector design because of its large cross-sections that will give rise to decrease the luminosity of the accelerators. We have done the cross-section calculations for BFPP in the framework of quantum electrodynamics (QED) by using the lowest-order perturbation theory for three different EICs that are mentioned below.
