Photoproduction of light vector mesons in Xe–Xe ultraperipheral collisions at the LHC and the nuclear density of Xe-129
We make predictions for cross sections of ρ and ϕ vector meson photoproduction in ultraperipheral Xe–Xe collisions at sNN=5.44TeV. Analyzing the momentum transfer distribution of ρ mesons in this process, we explore the feasibility of extracting the nuclear density of 129Xe, which is needed in searc...
