Description

Ultra-peripheral collisions provide a unique environment to study pomeron-
and photon-induced reactions with heavy nuclei. These interactions can produce
a wide range of final state particles, from light vector mesons to heavy quarko-
nia, and probe potentially exotic phenomena. LHCb’s particle ID capabilities
provide unique opportunities to study hadronic final states in ultra-peripheral
collisions. We will present recent LHCb results from ultra-peripheral heavy
ion collisions and discuss how these impact our understanding of low-x parton
interactions
