Abstract: | The photonuclear production of vector mesons in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions is investigated within the QCD color dipole picture, with particular emphasis on the saturation model. The integrated cross section and the rapidity distribution for the
(
) process are computed and theoretical estimates for scattering on both light and heavy nuclei are given for the energies of RHIC and LHC. A comparison with the recent STAR data on coherent production of
mesons is also presented. Furthermore, we calculate the photoproduction of vector mesons in proton-proton collisions at RHIC, Tevatron and LHC energies.Received: 12 January 2005, Revised: 2 February 2005, Published online: 9 March 2005 |
