Electron–positron pair production in ion collisions at low velocity beyond Born approximation

We derive the spectrum and the total cross section of electromagnetic e+e− pair production in the collisions of two nuclei at low relative velocity β. Both free–free and bound-free e+e− pair production is considered. The parameters ηA,B=ZA,Bα are assumed to be small compared to unity but arbitrary c...
