Calculation of the Coulomb Fission Cross Sections for Pb-Pb and Bi-Pb Interactions at 158 a GeV

The Weizsacker-Williams (WW) method of virtual quanta is used to make approximate cross section calculations for peripheral relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We calculated the Coulomb fission cross sections for projectile ions of Pb-208 and Bi-209 with energies of 158 A GeV interacting with a Pb-208 target. We also calculated the electromagnetic absorption cross section for Pb-208 ion interacting as described. For comparison we use both the full WW method and a standard approximate WW method. The approximate WW method in larger cross sections compared to the more accurate full WW method. Poyser, William J. and Ahern, Sean C. and Norbury, John W. and Tripathi, R. K.
