LASER ASSISTED PAIR CREATION IN ION-ION COLLISION
eeZZZZN
We aim to combine the pair creation in ion-ion collisions with the pair creation in strong laser fields by investigating pair creation in ion-ion collisions occuring in the presence of an intense laser field.
A lepton pair is produced in the Coulomb fields of the heavy-ions ( Z ) with the simultaneous absorption of N photons from the background laser field.

CONCLUSIONS:1. We have obtained free-free and bound-free electron-positron pair production cross section by using the semi-classical two photon method.
2. Our calculations agree well with the other calculations shown at references.
3. We have also obtained cross sections as a function of rapidity, transverse momentum and longitudinal momentum of produced positrons.
4. We can repeat the similar calculation for the FAIR energies.
5. Can we use this method to calculate the production of other particles such as mesons, heavy leptons, may be Higgs particles ?
6. Laser assisted pair creation in ion-ion collisons
