Compton scattering for photon and gluon in fixed-target collisions at AFTER@LHC

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

We calculate the Compton scattering for photon and gluon with the Klein-Nishina formula in fixed-target collisions by using the proton and lead beams at AFTER@LHC. In these collisions, we can investigate the particular case of Compton scattering at the partonic level, such as γq→qγγq\rightarrow qγ, γq→qgγq\rightarrow qg, gq→qγgq\rightarrow qγ, and gq→qggq\rightarrow qg, that can help to check of the equivalent-photon approximation and understand the dynamics of hadron collisions at high energies, as well as probe the inner hadron structure.
