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
