Description
Ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs) provide a unique environment to study pomeron- and photon-induced reactions with heavy nuclei. These interactions can produce a wide range of final state particles, from light vector mesons to heavy quarkonia, and probe potentially exotic phenomena. With a fast DAQ, full particle ID, and the ability to reconstruct very low pt particles, LHCb is uniquely well suited to studies of hadronic final states in UPC events. We will present recent LHCb results from ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions and discuss how these impact our understanding of the partonic structure of nuclei.
