We predict the cross sections of exclusive and rapidity gap target dissociative photoproduction of vector mesons in ultraperipheral pp and pA collisions at the LHC energies. We argue that experimental studies of these processes will allow to extend the HERA results for the low x gluon dynamics, soft and perturbative QCD pomeron physics.
