$\rho$ photoproduction in ALICE

Nuclear Experiment 2021-12-16 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

The ρ0\rho^0 is copiously photoproduced in ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions at the LHC. In this talk, I will present recent results on ρ\rho photoproduction with ALICE, including cross-section measurements from PbPb and XeXe collisions, including a discussion of the production of high-mass final states that decay to π+π\pi^+\pi^-, and of neutron production that accompanies ρ\rho photoproduction. I will conclude by presenting some prospects for ALICE in Runs 3 and 4.
