Description
We give an overview of the possibilties of studying photon-proton and photon-nucleus processes at the LHC that arise from exploiting the Weizsaecker-Williams flux of quasireal photons. In particular we will discuss diffractive photoproduction on nuclei, inclusive photoproduction of open charm, and prospects of measuring the total photoabsorption cross section at very high energies.
