Diffraction in nuclear physics

In this talk we shall present the measurements involving photonuclear production of vector meson (rho, omega, J/psi) and non-resonant pion pair in AuAu ultra peripheral collisions (UPC) at RHIC. Measurements of the relative amplitudes of the light vector mesons and direct pion pair components will be presented, along with the phase angle between the rho and omega components. The negative of...

Diffraction in nuclear physics

We shall discuss two reactions: $A A \to A A \gamma \gamma$ and $A A \to A A e^+ e^- e^+ e^-$. In the first case we shall discuss connections with elastic $\gamma \gamma$ scattering. Several mechanisms are included: lepton and quark boxes, vector-dominance mechanism and two-gluon exchange mechanism. The calculations are done in the equivalent photon approximation in the impact...
