Photoproduction of lepton pair in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Abstract: Dilepton production provides a unique probe of the strong electromagnetic field produced in heavy-ion collisions. To map out the behavior of its transverse momentum broadening, we present a theoretical model based on the equivalent photon approximation, and then we update it to make direct comparisons with the recent experimental measurements. We find that the model calculations can describe well, not only the average transverse momentum squared of $e{+}e{-}$ pairs in Au--Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=200$ GeV, but also the acoplanarity of $\mu{+}\mu{-}$ pairs in Pb--Pb collisions at$\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV. Furthermore, the model predictions are also able to reproduce the measured dependencies of the pair mass and the transverse momentum squared.
