Coulomb excitation at ultra-relativistic energies
Abstract
In previous studies of the theory of Coulomb excitation, the term in the electromagnetic interaction which is quadratic in the vector potential has been ignored. In this paper, we use qualitative arguments and detailed numerical calculations to show that this quadratic term must be included when the bombarding energy is in excess of about 20 GeV per nucleon.
