America/Cancun timezone

The third international workshop on the physics of Ultra Peripheral Collisions will be organized at Hotel Iberostart Tucan/Quetzal in Playa del Carmen, Mexico from December 7-12, 2026.  We are on the Tucan side. 

There will be student lectures on the evening of December 6.  

This is an in-person only event.

The following research topics will be discussed:

  • Recent experimental results at HERA, RHIC and LHC  
  • Theoretical description of exclusive photon-proton and photon-nucleus scattering
  • Nuclear PDFs developments using photon-induced data 
  • Nonlinear and gluon saturation effects in photon-nucleus scattering 
  • Hadronization in exclusive processes  
  • Soft nucleon and nucleus interactions 
  • Photoproduction in events with nuclear overlap 
  • Photon-photon physics, precision tests of SM and BSM
  • New directions in UPCs, synergies with the EIC and future experimental facilities
