Title: Probing subnucleon scale fluctuations in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions

Abstract

We show that introducing subnucleon scale fluctuations constrained by HERA diffractive J/Ψ production data significantly affects the incoherent diffractive J/Ψ production cross section in ul-traperipheral heavy ion collisions. We find that the inclusion of the additional fluctuations increases the ratio of the incoherent to the coherent cross section approximately by a factor of 2, and modifies the transverse momentum spectra of the produced J/Ψ at momenta larger than the scale that corresponds to the distance scale of the subnucleonic fluctuations. We present predictions for J/Ψ production in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV at the LHC and 200 GeV at RHIC.

Probing the Gluonic Structure of the Deuteron with J / ψ Photoproduction in d + Au Ultraperipheral Collisions

Journal Article Abdallah, M. S. ; Aboona, B. E. ; Adam, J. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Understanding gluon density distributions and how they are modified in nuclei are among the most important goals in nuclear physics. In recent years, diffractive vector meson production measured in ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) at heavy-ion colliders has provided a new tool for probing the gluon density. In this Letter, we report the first measurement of J/ψ photoproduction off the deuteron in UPCs at the center-of-mass energy √sNN=200 GeV in d+Au collisions. The differential cross section as a function of momentum transfer -t is measured. In addition, data with a neutron tagged in the deuteron-going zero-degree calorimeter is investigated for the firstmore »« less

Nucleon dissociation and incoherent $J / ψ$ photoproduction on nuclei in ion ultraperipheral collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider

Journal Article Guzey, V. ; Strikman, M. ; Zhalov, M. - Physical Review C

Using the general notion of cross section fluctuations in hadron-nucleus scattering at high energies, we derive an expression for the cross section of incoherent J/ψ photoproduction on heavy nuclei dσ_{γA → J/ψY} /dt, which includes both elastic dσ_{γ → Jψp}/ dt and proton-dissociation dσ_{γp → J/ψY} /dt photoproduction on target nucleons. We find that, with good accuracy, dσ_{γA → J/ψY} /dt can be expressed as a product of the sum of the dσ_{γp → J/ψp} /dt and dσ_{γp → J/ψY} /dt cross sections, which have been measured at HERA, and the common nuclear shadowing factor, which is calculated usingmore »« less

Exploring gluon tomography with polarization dependent diffractive $J / ψ$ production

Journal Article Brandenburg, James Daniel ; Xu, Zhangbu ; Zha, Wangmei ; ... - Physical Review D

We study azimuthal asymmetries in diffractive J/ψ production in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies using the color glass condensate effective theory. Our calculation successfully describes azimuthal averaged J/ψ production cross section measured by STAR and ALICE. We further predict very large cos 2Φ and cos 4Φ azimuthal asymmetries for diffractive J/ψ production both in UPCs at RHIC and LHC energies and in eA collisions at EIC energy. These novel polarization dependent observables may provide complementary information for constraining gluon transverse spatial distribution inside large nuclei. As compared to all previous analysis of diffractive J/ψ production, the essentialmore »« less

{rho}{sup 0} photoproduction in ultraperipheral relativistic heavy ion collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN})=200 GeV

Journal Article Abelev, B I ; Barannikova, O ; Betts, R R ; ... - Physical Review. C, Nuclear Physics

Photoproduction reactions occur when the electromagnetic field of a relativistic heavy ion interacts with another heavy ion. The STAR Collaboration presents a measurement of {rho}{sup 0} and direct {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} photoproduction in ultraperipheral relativistic heavy ion collisions at {radical}(s{sub NN})=200 GeV. We observe both exclusive photoproduction and photoproduction accompanied by mutual Coulomb excitation. We find a coherent cross section of {sigma}(AuAu{yields}Au*Au*{rho}{sup 0})=530{+-}19(stat.){+-}57(syst.) mb, in accord with theoretical calculations based on a Glauber approach, but considerably below the predictions of a color dipole model. The {rho}{sup 0} transverse momentum spectrum (p{sub T}{sup 2}) is fit by a double exponential curvemore »« less
