Bound-free pair production mechanism in Pb-p collisions at LHC

Abstract

In this work, cross section calculations of bound-free pair production (BFPP) are done for the mechanism in Pb-p collisions at LHC. BFPP cross section for the asymmetric collisions of Pb-p at the center of mass energies of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5,02TeV$ and $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=8,16TeV$ is computed. In order to reach the exact results, Monte Carlo integration techniques are utilized to calculate the lowest-order Feynman diagrams amplitudes via the lowest order perturbation theory. Also, in this work our cross section results for BFPP mechanism in Pb-p collisions at LHC are compared with BFPP cross section results obtained in literature, which are reached for Pb-p collisions by using a simple scaling applied to scale BFPP cross section results in Pb-Pb collisions at LHC.
