abstract

Quasireal photons exchanged in relativistic heavy ion interactions are powerful probes of the gluonic structure of nuclei. The coherent J/$\psi$ photoproduction cross section in ultraperipheral lead-lead collisions is measured as a function of photon-nucleus center-of-mass energies per nucleon (W$^\text{Pb}_{\gamma\text{N}}$), over a wide range of 40 $\lt$ W$^\text{Pb}_{\gamma\text{N}}$ $\lt$ 400 GeV. Results are obtained using data at the nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.52 nb$^{-1}$. The cross section is observed to rise rapidly at low W$^\text{Pb}_{\gamma\text{N}}$, and plateau above W$^\text{Pb}_{\gamma\text{N}}$ $\approx$ 40 GeV, up to 400 GeV, a new regime of small Bjorken-$x$ ($\approx$ 6 $\times$ 10$^{-5}$) gluons being probed in a heavy nucleus. The observed energy dependence is not predicted by current quantum chromodynamic models.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The 208Pb dipole amplitude is learned from R_pPb and coherent J/ψ photoproduction data with the BK equation embedded in training, giving Q²_s0(Pb)/Q²_s0(p) = 3.17 and an MV-type initial condition.

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Bayesian reweighting of nuclear parton distributions with coherent J/psi photoproduction data yields a lead gluon modification factor of about 0.60 at x=1e-4, implying strong gluon shadowing.

  3. AI-powered full-data set search for new physics in ultraperipheral and diffractive events

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Autoencoders trained on simulated known UPC processes flag injected J/psi to 4 pi and pentaquark events with high reported purity in toy ALICE-like data.

  4. Ultra-peripheral Collisions

    hep-ex 2026-07 conditional novelty 1.0 of 10

    Ultra-peripheral collisions of heavy ions are reviewed as the energy frontier for photon physics; the paper consolidates a decade of LHC/RHIC results and proposes no new measurement.

  5. Effective theories for nuclei at high energies

    hep-ph 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 1.0 of 10

    This paper reviews the Color Glass Condensate effective theory, covering its foundations, its role in deep inelastic scattering, and its use in setting initial conditions for heavy-ion collisions.
