Electromagnetic and strong contributions to dAu soft coherent inelastic diffraction at RHIC
arXiv:0804.4232 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.77.067901
Abstract
We estimate electromagnetic (ultra-peripheral) and strong contributions to dAu soft coherent inelastic diffraction at RHIC, dAu \to X Au. We show that the electromagnetic contribution is the dominant one and that the corresponding cross section is sizable, σ^{dAu \to XAu}_{\rm e.m.}=214 mb, which constitutes 10% of the total dAu inelastic cross section.
