Dissociative associated $J/\psi$ and dimuon production in Ap ultraperipheral collisions via double parton scattering

Abstract

We study the dissociative associated production of a $J/\psi$ meson and a dimuon via double parton scattering (DPS) in nucleus--proton ultraperipheral collisions. This new channel, characterized by a rapidity gap, is sensitive to the photon and gluon distributions of the proton. We derive a DPS pocket formula for this process, together with a corresponding expression for the effective cross section. Furthermore, we demonstrate the kinematic dependence of the effective cross section and present predictions for the differential DPS cross section at LHC and FCC energies.
