Heavy Quarks and Meson Production in Ultraperipheral Heavy Ion Collisions
arXiv:hep-ph/0601131 · doi:10.1142/S0218271807010365
Abstract
We report on our recent investigations in photonuclear production of heavy quarks and vector meson in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions. In particular, our theoretical predictions are compared with the recent experimental measurements on coherent rho (STAR) and J/Psi (PHENIX) photoproduction at RHIC and estimates for LHC are given.
