Initial transverse-momentum broadening of Breit-Wheeler process in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

We calculate the cross section and transverse-momentum (P⊥) distribution of the Breit-Wheeler process in relativistic heavy-ion collisions and their dependence on collision impact parameter (b). To accomplish this, the Equivalent Photon Approximation (EPA) was generalized in a more differential way...
