Lyuboshitz, V.

For the process $e^+e^- rightarrow mu^+mu^-$, it is \u0000 shown that -- in the case of the unpolarized electron and positron -- the final \u0000 muons are also unpolarized but their spins are strongly correlated. For the \u0000 final $(mu^+ mu^-)$ system, the structure of triplet states is analyzed and \u0000 explicit expressions for the components of the spin density matrix and \u0000 correlation tensor are derived. It is demonstrated that here the spin correlations \u0000 of muons have the purely quantum character, since one of the Bell-type \u0000 incoherence inequalities for the correlation tensor components is always violated \u0000 ( i.e. there is always one case when the modulus of sum of two diagonal components \u0000 exceeds unity ). Besides, the additional contribution of the weak interaction of lepton \u0000 neutral currents through the virtual $Z^0$ boson is considered in detail, and \u0000 it is established that, when involving the weak interaction contribution, the \u0000 qualitative character of the muon spin correlations does not change. \u0000 \u0000 On the other hand, the theoretical investigation of spin structure for the \u0000 processes of lepton pair production by pairs of photons ( which, in particular, \u0000 may be emitted in relativistic heavy-ion and hadron-nucleus collisions ) is \u0000 performed as well. For the two-photon process $gamma gamma rightarrow \u0000 e^+ e^-$, it is found that -- quite similarly to \u0000the process $e^+ e^- \u0000 rightarrow mu^+ mu^-$ -- in the case of unpolarized photons the final electron \u0000 and positron remain unpolarized, but their spins prove to be strongly correlated. \u0000 Explicit expressions for the components of the correlation tensor and for \u0000 the relative fractions of singlet and triplet states of the final $(e^+ e^-)$ \u0000 system are derived. Again, here one of the Bell-type incoherence inequalities \u0000 for the correlation tensor components is always violated and, thus, spin \u0000 correlations of the electron and positron have the strongly pronounced quantum \u0000 character. \u0000 \u0000 Analogous analysis can be wholly applied as well, respectively, to the annihilation process \u0000$e^+ e^- rightarrow tau^+ tau^-$ and to the two-photon processes $gamma gamma rightarrow mu^+ mu^-$, $gamma gamma rightarrow tau^+ tau^-$, \u0000 which become possible at considerably higher energies.","PeriodicalId":346295,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Sixth Annual Conference on Large Hadron Collider Physics — PoS(LHCP2018)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132430477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
