Abstract
In this paper we investigate the production by photon - photon and photon - hadron interactions in and collisions at the LHC energies. The inclusive and diffractive contributions for the photoproduction are estimated using the nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics (NRQCD) formalism. We estimate the rapidity and transverse momentum distributions for the photoproduction in hadronic collisions at the LHC and present our estimate for the total cross sections at the Run 2 energies. A comparison with the predictions for the exclusive photoproduction, which is a direct probe of the Odderon, also is presented.
