Relativistic heavy ions are sources of strong electromagnetic fields which produce photon-induced interactions. These interactions are usually studied in ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs) of the relativistic heavy ions. The UPCs can produce di-lepton or di-hadron pairs via the γ-γ interactions or produce vector mesons via the γ-nuclear interactions. Both the photo-produced vector mesons and...

We use the Glauber--Gribov formalism, however, it has to be supplemented by the gluon shadowing, since the coherence length of higher dipole Fock states is smaller than the nucleus radius.
