Abstract

We calculated the cross section of double electron-positron pair production with two-electron capture for the collisions of Pb+Pb ions and we did our calculations at LHC energies. We applied a similar methodology for the calculation of bound-free electron-positron pair production. We used perturbation theory and implemented Monte Carlo integration techniques to calculate the lowest order Feynman diagrams. We also compared our double electron-positron pair production with two-electron capture cross-section results obtained in the literature. These calculations may help us to learn more about strong QED.
