Vector meson production in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions

Nuclear Theory 2024-04-18 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

We review model calculations of exclusive vector meson production in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions. We highlight differences and similarities between different dipole models and leading twist shadowing calculations. Recent color glass condensate calculations are presented with focus on effects from nuclear structure and azimuthal anisotropies driven by interference effects.
