UPC physics with ALICE in Run 3
arXiv:2405.19069
Abstract
The ALICE experiment has undergone a major detector upgrade for Run 3, expanding its detection capabilities for a wide variety of studies. The new continuous readout has significantly enhanced the physics potential for ultra-peripheral collision analyses. In this talk, we discussed some of the physics analyses that can be carried out in ultra-peripheral collisions using the Run 3 data and presented some of the first physics performance plots in both proton-proton and heavy-ion collisions.
