Abstract
At LHC energies, the Lorentz factor will be 3400 for Pb+Pb collisions, and the electromagnetic interactions will play important roles. The cross sections for the electromagnetic particle productions are very large and cannot be ignored for the lifetimes of the beams and background. In this article, we are going to study some of the electromagnetic processes at the RHIC and the LHC and show the cross section calculations of the electron-positron pair production with the giant dipole resonance of the ions.

This research is partially supported by the Istanbul Technical University. I personally thank S. R. Klein for valuable advice in calculating the cross sections. I would also like to thank Amand Faessler and Jochen Wambach for supporting me in participating in this workshop. Finally, I would like to thank to Hans Gutbrod for inviting me to GSI to study the FAIR project, and I would also thank to DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst) for supporting me on this visit.
