Abstract

We investigate J/Ψ photoproduction in peripheral oxygen–oxygen (OO) collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), considering different models for the nuclear photon flux, the overlap function, and the dipole–proton scattering amplitude. We present predictions for the corresponding rapidity distributions and total cross sections. Our results indicate that an experimental study of J/Ψ photoproduction in peripheral OO collisions is, in principle, feasible. In addition, they suggest that combining results for this final state in OO collisions with those obtained in PbPb collisions can provide important constraints on the description of photon-induced processes in peripheral collisions.
