LHCb measurements of Quarkonia Production in Ultraperipheral PbPb collisions and Z production in Pb collisions
Hengne Li · LHCb collaboration
Measurements of quarkonia production in ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions are of important value to study photon-photon and photon-nucleus interactions, the partonic structure of nuclei, and mechanisms of vector-meson production. LHCb has studied both coherent and mesons in ultra-peripheral collisions using PbPb data at forward rapidity with the highest precision currently accessible. In addition, measurements of production in Pb collisions provide new constraints on the partonic structure of nucleons bound inside nuclei. Here will present these measurements of quarkonia and production, along with comparisons with the latest theoretical models.
