The cos 2ϕ azimuthal asymmetry in ρ 0 meson production in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions

Abstract We present a detailed study of vector meson photoproduction in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions (UPCs). Using the dipole model, we develop a framework for the joint impact parameter and transverse momentum dependent cross sections. We compute the unpolarized cross section and cos 2ϕ azi...
