Electromagnetic pair production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Description

We survey the phenomenon of pair production by the transient electromagnetic fields produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, as it impinges upon atomic, nuclear, and particle physics, and the design of accelerators and detectors. The subject is naturally divided between coherent production in peripheral collisions, and incoherent production in central collisions. We discuss examples illustrating both regimes
