    Ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions (UPC) at the Large Hadron Collider provide a unique environment to study high-energy photon-induced interactions. The intense electromagnetic fields of relativistic nuclei enable a broad physics program encompassing both photon–photon and photon–nucleus processes. In this talk, recent UPC results from the four LHC collaborations are reviewed. Photon–photon...

    Relativistic heavy ion collisions produce intense electromagnetic fields, offering a unique opportunity to study photon-induced interactions. These phenomena are primarily investigated in ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs), where the impact parameters exceed the sum of the nuclear radii. In UPCs, di-lepton and di-hadron pairs generated from photon-photon interactions carry the information from...

    Generalized Transverse Momentum Dependent parton distributions (GTMDs) can be accessed in ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) and in photoproduction, which allows for a direct comparison of LHC and EIC data in the future, but not every GTMD observable at LHC has an analogous process at EIC or vice versa. For example, GTMDs of photons inside highly charged ions can be studied in UPCs but not in...

    Photon-photon scattering provides a promising and largely unexplored channel to investigate the three-dimensional structure of hadronization and, more specifically, to access transverse momentum dependent fragmentation functions (TMD FFs), complementing information currently extracted from semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and $e^+e^-$ annihilation. We consider two-photon interactions...
