Abstract

In this work, cross-section calculations of bound-free pair production (BFPP) are done for the mechanism in Pb-p collisions at the LHC. The BFPP cross section for the asymmetric collisions of Pb-p at the center-of-mass energies of v sNN = 5.02 TeV and v sNN = 8.16 TeV is computed. In order to reach the exact results, Monte Carlo integration techniques are utilized to calculate the lowest-order Feynman diagrams amplitudes via the lowest-order perturbation theory. Moreover, in this work, our cross-section results for the BFPP mechanism in Pb-p collisions at the LHC are compared with BFPP cross-section results obtained in the literature, which are reached for Pb-p collisions by using a simple scaling applied to scale the BFPP cross-section results in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC.
