Mapping color fluctuations in the photon in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider

We model effects of color fluctuations (CFs) in the light-cone photon wave function and for the first time make predictions for the distribution over the number of wounded nucleons ν in the inelastic photon–nucleus scattering. We show that CFs lead to a dramatic enhancement of this distribution at ν...
