Description

By studying quarkonia photo-nuclear production, the ALICE and CMS collaborations have recently provided experimental evidence of nuclear gluon effects in gamma+Pb interactions at unprecedented low Bjorken-x values in the Pb nucleus. In this talk, an experimental and theoretical review about these studies will be given. The prospect of innovative measurements using the run 2 data will be described.
