Diffractive vector meson production at large-$t$ in coherent hadronic interactions at CERN LHC

Abstract

The diffractive vector meson photoproduction with hadron dissociation in coherent hadron-hadron interactions at LHC energies is studied assuming that the color singlet $t$-channel exchange carries large momentum transfer. We estimate the rapidity distribution and total cross section for the processes $pp\to pVX$ and $PbPb\to PbVX$ ($V=\rho$ or ${\rm Y}$) considering the non-forward solution of the BFKL equation at high energy and large momentum transfer. Our results indicate that the experimental identification of these processes can be feasible at the LHC.
