Lowest order and higher order QED calculations have been carried out for the RHIC high mass e+ e- pairs observed by PHENIX with single ZDC triggers. The lowest order QED results for the experimental acceptance are about two standard deviations larger than the PHENIX data. Corresponding higher order QED calculations are within one standard deviation of the data.

A new lowest order QED calculation for RHIC e+ e- pair production has been carried out with a phenomenological treatment of the Coulomb dissociation of the heavy ion nuclei observed in the STAR ZDC triggers. The lowest order QED result for the experimental acceptance is nearly two standard deviations larger than the STAR data. A corresponding higher order QED calculation is consistent with the data.
The correction to the Coulomb energy due to virtual production of $e^+e^-$ pairs, which is on the order of one percent of the Coulomb energy at nuclear scales is discussed. The effects of including a pair-production term in the semi-empirical mass formula and the correction to the Coulomb barrier for a handful of nuclear collisions using the Bass and Coulomb potentials are studied. With an eye toward future work using Constrained Molecular Dynamics (CoMD) model, we also calculate the correction to the Coulomb energy and force between protons after folding with a Gaussian spatial distribution.

A higher order QED calculation of the ultraperipheral heavy ion cross section for mu+ mu- pair production at RHIC and LHC is carried out. The so-called Coulomb corrections lead to an even greater percentage decrease of mu+ mu- production from perturbation theory than the corresponding decrease for e+ e- pair production. Unlike the e+ e- case, the finite charge distribution of the ions (form factor) and the necessary subtraction of impact parameters with matter overlap are significant effects in calculation an observable ultraperipheral mu+ mu- total cross section.
In a previous paper, we studied the Higgs pair production in the standard model with the reaction $e^{+}e^{-}to t bar t HH$. Based on this, we study the Higgs pair production via $e^{+}e^{-}to b bar b HH$. We evaluate the total cross section of $bbar bHH$ and calculate the number total of events considering the complete set of Feynman diagrams at tree-level, and compare this process with the process $e^{+}e^{-}to t bar t HH$. The numerical computation is done for the energy which is expected to be available at a possible Next Linear $e^{+}e^{-}$ Collider with a center-of-mass energy $800, 1000, 1600$ $GeV$ and luminosity 1000 $fb^{-1}$.

Signatures of collective behavior have been measured in highly relativistic p+p collisions, as well as in p+A, d+A, and 3He+A collisions. Numerous particle correlation measurements in these systems have been successfully described by calculations based on viscous hydrodynamic and transport models. These observations raise the question of the minimum necessary conditions for a system to exhibit collectivity. Recently, numerous scientists have raised the question of whether the quarks and gluons generated in e+e- collisions may satisfy these minimum conditions. In this paper we explore possible signatures of collectivity, or lack thereof, in e+e- collisions utilizing A Multi-Phase Transport (AMPT) framework which comprises melted color strings, parton scattering, hadronization, and hadron re-scattering.
