Exclusive and dissociative / photoproduction, and exclusive dimuon production, in p-Pb collisions at √NN=8.16  TeV

The ALICE Collaboration reports three measurements in ultraperipheral proton-lead collisions at forward rapidity. The exclusive two-photon process ⁢→+⁢− and the exclusive photoproduction of / are studied. / photoproduction with proton dissociation is measured for the first time at a hadron collider....

Sumario:The ALICE Collaboration reports three measurements in ultraperipheral proton-lead collisions at forward rapidity. The exclusive two-photon process ⁢→+⁢− and the exclusive photoproduction of / are studied. / photoproduction with proton dissociation is measured for the first time at a hadron collider. The cross section for the two-photon process of dimuons in the invariant mass range from 1 to 2.5  GeV/2 agrees with leading-order quantum electrodynamics calculations. The exclusive and dissociative cross sections for / photoproductions are measured for photon-proton center-of-mass energies from 27 to 57 GeV. They are in good agreement with HERA results.
