Geometry-induced azimuthal anisotropy in coherent photoproduction

Ding Yu Shao, Han-Qing Yu, Cheng Zhang +1

Azimuthal anisotropies in heavy-ion collisions are conventionally interpreted as signatures of hydrodynamic flow. We demonstrate that in peripheral collisions, a significant $\cos…

Lepton pair production in UPCs: towards the precision test of the resummation formalism

Ding Yu Shao, Cheng Zhang, Jian Zhou +1

We present a detailed investigation of the azimuthal asymmetries and acoplanarity in lepton pair production in ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs). These observables provide a unique…

Azimuthal asymmetries of muon pair production in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions

Ding Yu Shao, Cheng Zhang, Jian Zhou +1

In this paper we study azimuthal asymmetries of the muon pair production in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions within the joint impact parameter and transverse momentum dependent…

Exploring gluon tomography with polarization dependent diffractive J/ production

James Daniel Brandenburg, Zhangbu Xu, Wangmei Zha +3

We study azimuthal asymmetries in diffractive J/ production in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies using the color glass condensate effective theory. O…

Probing the gluon tomography in photoproduction of di-pions

Yoshikazu Hagiwara, Cheng Zhang, Jian Zhou +1

A sizable azimuthal asymmetry in exclusive di-pion production near resonance peak in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions recently has been reported by STAR collabo…

Coulomb nuclear interference effect in dipion production in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions

Yoshikazu Hagiwara, Cheng Zhang, Jian Zhou +1

We study exclusive pair production near resonance peak in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions. Pion pair can either be produced via two photon fusion process or fr…

The azimuthal asymmetry in meson production in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions

Hongxi Xing, Cheng Zhang, Jian Zhou +1

We present a detailed study of vector meson photoproduction in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions (UPCs). Using the dipole model, we develop a framework for the joint impact para…
