چکیده
Ultraperipheral collisions in hadron colliders give new opportunites to investigate the hadron stucture through exclusive photoproduction processes. We describe the possibility of measuring the Generalized Parton Distributions in the Timelike Compton Scattering process and in the production of heavy vector meson.

New results in exclusive hard reactions
Generalized Parton Distributions offer a new way to access the quark and gluon nucleon structure. We review recent progress in this domain, emphasizing the need to supplement the experimental study of DVCS by its crossed version, timelike Compton scattering (TCS), where data at high energy should appear thanks to the study of ultraperipheral collisions at the LHC. This will open the access to v...
متن کاملUltraperipheral Collisions at RHIC and LHC
A brief introduction to the physics of ultraperipheral collisions at collider energies is given. Photon-hadron (proton/ nucleus) and photon-photon interactions can be studied in a hitherto unexplored energy regime. 1 Some features of Ultraperipheral Collisions (UPC) Photon-photon and photon-hadron interactions can also be studied in hadron-hadron collisions [1]. This may be surprising since in ...
متن کاملThe Qcd Pomeron in Ultraperipheral Heavy Ion Collisions: v. Double Vector Meson Production in the Bfkl Approach
In this work the double vector meson production in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions is investigated within the BFKL approach. The integrated cross sections and event rates for the processes AA → V1V2AA (Vi = ρ, ω, φ, J/Ψ,Υ) are computed and theoretical estimates for scattering on both light and heavy nuclei are given for energies of RHIC and LHC.
متن کاملTimelike Compton Scattering in Ultraperipheral Collisions
Exclusive photoproduction of dileptons, γN → ll N , is and will be measured in ultraperipheral collisions at hadron colliders. We demonstrate that the timelike deeply virtual Compton scattering (TCS) mechanism γq → llq, where the lepton pair comes from the subprocess γq → γ∗q, dominates in some accessible kinematical regions, thus opening a new way to study generalized parton distributions (GPD...
متن کاملThe Qcd Pomeron in Ultraperipheral Heavy Ion Collisions: Iii. Photonuclear Production of Heavy-quarks
We calculate the photonuclear production of heavy quarks in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions. The integrated cross section and the rapidity distribution are computed employing sound high energy QCD formalisms as the collinear and semihard approaches as well as the saturation model. In particular, the color glass condensate (CGC) formalism is also considered using a simple phenomenological p...
