Searching for the odderon in ultraperipheral proton-ion collisions at the LHC

We explore the possibility of observing odderon exchange in proton-ion collisions at the LHC, via the ultraperipheral photoproduction of C-even mesons. As well as the signal, we consider in detail the principle backgrounds, due to QCD-initiated production (i.e., double pomeron exchange) and γγ fusio...
