Description
Measurements of quarkonia production in peripheral and ultra-peripheral
heavy-ion collisions are sensitive to photon-photon and photon-nucleus interac-
tions, the partonic structure of nuclei, and to the mechanisms of vector-meson
production. LHCb has studied production of the J/ψ and ψ(2S) charmonium
states in peripheral and ultra-peripheral collisions using PbPb data at forward
rapidity, obtaining the highest precision currently accessible. Here we will
present these measurements, along with comparisons with the latest theoretical
models and with results from other experiments. Future UPC measurements
with the upgraded LHCb detector in Run 3 will also be discussed
