In heavy nuclei the spatial distribution of protons and neutrons is different. At CERN SPS energies production of $\pi^+$ and $\pi^-$ differs for $pp$, $pn$, $np$ and $nn$ scattering. These two facts lead to an impact parameter dependence…

Vector mesons are copiously produced in ultra-peripheral nucleus-nucleus collisions. In these collisions, the nuclei are separated by impact parameters larger than the sum of the nuclear radii, and the interaction is mediated by the…
