Description
A sizable cos 4ϕ azimuthal asymmetry in exclusive dipion production near ρ0 resonance peak in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions recently has been reported by STAR collaboration. We show that both elliptic gluon Wigner distribution and final-state soft photon radiation can give rise to this azimuthal asymmetry. The fact that the QED effect alone severely underestimates the observed asymmetry might signal the existence of the nontrivial correlation in quantum phase distribution of gluons.
