Probing the linear polarization of photons in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions
read the original abstract
We propose to measure the linear polarization of the external electromagnetic fields of a relativistic heavy ion through azimuthal asymmetries in dilepton production in ultraperipheral collisions. The asymmetries estimated with the equivalent photon approximation are shown to be sizable.

Probing Quantum Numbers and Decay Branching Ratios of Exotic States via Entanglement-Enabled Spin Interference
Production-site entanglement in UPCs produces distinct cos 2φ modulations in decay angular distributions that distinguish intermediate channels and allow direct extraction of branching ratios, as simulated for ρ(1450) → 4π.
