We briefly review our works on ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions. We discuss both $\gamma \gamma$ and rescattering of hadronic photon fluctuation induced by one nucleus in the collision partner. Production of one and two leptonic and…
High-energy hadronic collisions generate environments characterized by temperatures above 100 MeV [1,2], about 100,000 times hotter than the center of the Sun. It is therefore currently unclear how light (anti)nuclei with mass number A of a…
