Isolating the Odderon in central production in high energy pA and AA collisions

Abstract We study the rapidity dependence of the central exclusive production cross sections of C-even mesons in pA and AA collisions, where A is a heavy ion. We observe qualitatively different behaviour of the contributions arising from $$\gamma $$ γ -Odderon and Pomeron–Pomeron fusion mechanisms....
