Exclusive vector meson photoproduction in fixed-target collisions at the LHC
Abstract The exclusive $$\rho $$ ρ , $$\omega $$ ω and $$J/\Psi $$ J/Ψ photoproduction in fixed-target collisions at the LHC is investigated. We estimate, for the first time, the rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of the vector meson photoproduction in pHe, pAr, PbHe and PbAr fixed-targe...
