γ γ Processes at High Energy pp Colliders
Abstract
In this note we investigate the production of charged heavy particles via \ fusion at high energy pp colliders. We revise previous claims that the \ cross section is comparable to or larger than that for the corresponding Drell-Yan process at high energies. Indeed we find that the \ contribution to the total production cross section at pp is far below the Drell-Yan cross section. As far as the individual elastic, semi-elastic and inelastic contributions to the \ process are concerned we find that they are all of the same order of magnitude.
