Photonuclear and Two-photon Interactions at High-Energy Nuclear Colliders

Nuclear Experiment 2020-12-02 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

Ultra-peripheral collisions of heavy ions and protons are the energy frontier for electromagnetic interactions. Both photonuclear and two-photon collisions are studied, at collision energies that are far higher than are available elsewhere. In this review, we will discuss physics topics that can be addressed with UPCs, including nuclear shadowing and nuclear structure and searches for beyond-standard-model physics.
