Ultraperipheral Collisions at RHIC and the LHC

  • 1. Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY, 11973-5000 (United States)

Description

The current status of ultraperipheral measurements in heavy ion collisions is discussed, with an emphasis on what is learned from one photon (photonuclear) and two photon (γ+γ) processes. The interpretation of recent data on "nonUPC" events, in which electromagnetic processes occur simultaneously with hadronic ones, is also discussed. Results from the LHC (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb) and the STAR experiment at RHIC are discussed.
