Bound-free pair production with a correction term in relativistic heavy-ioncollisions

Abstract

In our previous work, we calculated bound-free electron{positron pair production cross section without acorrection term. In this work, bound-free electron{positron pair production with a correction term is considered tocalculate the cross section for peripheral relativistic heavy ion collisions. The Dirac wave functions have been used forthe leptons and rst order corrections are included. It is seen that the results for the production cross sections areconsiderably smaller than those of the previous calculations. We applied the same method for the calculations of theantihydrogen production cross sections as well.
