Description
Ultra-Peripheral production of vector mesons investigates those collisions where the impact parameter is larger than the sum of the radii of the two projectiles, implying that electromagnetic processes become dominant. For heavier vector mesons, they can provide a promising way to investigate nuclear shadowing (Pb-Pb) and the gluon structure function (p-Pb). The latest results from this programme will be discussed.
