Description

The problem of summation of the perturbation series for the process of lepton pair production in relativistic ion collisions is investigated. We show that the amplitude of this process can be obtained in the compact analytical form, if one confines to the terms growing as powers of logarithmic energy in the cross section, the approximation of which is completely justified for such colliders as RHIC and LHC. Using this result we calculate the Coulomb corrections to the cross section of the process under consideration
