Summary

The ALICE collaboration has studied J/psi photoproduction in
ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt(s_(NN)) = 2.76 TeV. The J/psi is measured via its
dimuon decay in the forward rapidity region with the muon spectrometer for
events where the hadronic activity is required to be minimal. In this talk,
ALICE results for coherent J/psi production will be presented and compared
to theoretical models.
