Description
In this talk, we discuss the exclusive photoproduction of ground and excited states of $\psi(1S,2S)$ and $\Upsilon(1S,2S)$ in ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs). Using the potential approach in order to obtain the vector meson wave function, we find a good agreement of our calculations with data from the LHC and HERA colliders for $J/\psi (1S,2S) $ and $\Upsilon(1S)$ in $\gamma p$ collisions. We extend the calculations, via Glauber--Gribov model, to the nuclear case applying them to $AA$ UPCs . Our results, compared to the LHC data, show the necessity of the inclusion of two main nuclear effects, called gluon shadowing and finite coherence length.
