Abstract

In this letter we update our predictions for the photoproduction of vector mesons in coherent pppp and AAAA collisions at RHIC and LHC energies using the color dipole approach and the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) formalism. In particular, we present our predictions for the first run of the LHC at half energy and for the rapidity dependence of the ratio between the J/ΨJ/\Psi and ρ\rho cross sections at RHIC energies.
