Invariant spectrum for the equivalent-photon method

Инвариантный спектр для метода зквивалентных фотонов

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

The equivalent-photon method is carefully studied and formulated in an invariant way for electroproductionlike processes. The invariant spectrum obtained is specified for two interesting limits: infinitely heavy target and quasi-real photon target. An application to the two-photon mechanism for the production of a state of effective massW is given and the fixed-W 2 cross-section is computed.

Riassunto

Si studia accuratamente il metodo dei fotoni equivalenti e se ne dà una formulazione invariante per processi del tipo della elettroproduzione. Si specifica lo spettro invariante che ne risulta per due casi limite interessanti: bersaglio di massa infinita e bersaglio di fotoni quasi reali. Si espone un’applicazione al meccanismo a due fotoni per la produzione di uno stato di massa effettivaW si calcola la sezione d’urto aW 2 fissato.

Реэюме

Внимательно исследуется метод зквлвалентных фотонов. Инвариант-ным обраэом метод зквивалентных фотонов формулируется для процессов, подо-бных злектророждению. Полученный инвариантный спектр определяется в двух интересных предельных случаях: бесконечно тяжелая мищень и кваэиреальная фо-тонная мищень. Рассматривается применение двухфотонного механиэма для рож-дения состояния с зффективной массойW. Вычисляется поперечное сечение при фиксированномW 2.
