Description

Ultraperipheral collisions (UPC) where protons/ions interact at large impact parameter at LHC, provide opportunities in exploring several aspects of particle and nuclear physics. The recent results of exclusive photoproduction of Upsilon with CMS in pPb collisions, photoproduction of J/φ in UPC pPb and PbPb collisions with ALICE and in pp collisions with LHCb, reveals importance of these measurements to probe the gluon distributions in nucleons and in nuclei at small x, where x is the fraction of target momentum carried by the gluon. In this work, we will present the study of exclusive photoproduction of (nS) in pPb collisions at √s = 8:16 TeV for LHC Run2, data taken during Nov 2016
