Abstract

We calculate the coherent and incoherent production of J/ψJ/\psi in PbPb ultraperipheral collisions. The production of J/ψJ/\psi in ultraperipheral collsions is product of photon flux distributions and cross section of photon-nucleus scatterings. The distributions of photon flux is computed in light-cone perturbation theory and the cross section of photon-nucleus scatterings is calculated in dipole model, we assume that the two gluons exchange contribution is the coherent cross section and the large-NcN_c contribution is the incoherent cross section in photon-nucleus scattering. The numerical result of the rapidity distributions of J/ψJ/\psi production in PbPb ultraperipheral collisions at sNN=2.76\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76TeV are compared with the experimental data measured by the ALICE collaboration.
