Because the two photon cross section is proportional to Z[sup 4], heavy ion colliders offer an unmatched luminosity. However, because nuclei have finite sizes,
Ultra-relativistic heavy-ions carry strong electromagnetic and nuclear fields. Interactions between these fields in peripheral nucleus-nucleus collisions can pr
This presentation will show the feasibility of studying two-photon interactions in the STAR experiment at RHIC. Signals, detection efficiencies, backgrounds, tr
Two photon processes induced by heavy ion collisions have been considered. An approximate formalism for calculation is derived. The event rate is interesting at
