From photons to dikaon -- theoretical insights into $K^{+}{K}^{-}$ production in nuclear collisions

Nikhil Krishna, Mariola Klusek-Gawenda, Antoni Szczurek

The production of charged kaon pairs in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions can proceed via photoproduction (gamma-Pomeron interaction) or via photon-photon fusion. An important c…
