Sumario:Ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions provide a unique opportunity to study the parton distributions in the colliding nuclei via the measurement of photo-nuclear dijet production. An analysis of dijet production in ultra-peripheral $\sqrt{s}_{\mathrm{NN}}$=5.02 TeV Pb+Pb collisions performed using data collected in 2015 is described. The data set corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 0.38 $\mathrm{nb}^{−1}$. The ultra-peripheral collisions are selected using a combination of trigger, zero degree calorimeter, and gap requirements. The jets are reconstructed using the anti-$k_t$ algorithm. The results of the measurement include cross-sections for photo-nuclear dijet production as a function of different dijet kinematic variables.
