Exclusive production in $pp$ and PbPb collisions at the LHCb experiment

Sumario:The LHCb experiment is one of the four main detectors installed around the points where beams collide after accelerated by LHC. Initially the LHCb was designed to study $B$ and $D$ mesons in order to elucidate the $CP$ violation mechanism. However, this detector turned out fairly effective to study central exclusive production (CEP). Two cross-section measurements performed using the data collected during the years of 2011, 2012 and 2015 are described in this thesis. The cross-section of dimuon electromagnetic production is performed with $pp$ collisions at two center-of-mass energies: $\sqrt{s} = 7\,{\rm TeV}$ with 2011 data and $\sqrt{s} = 8\,{\rm TeV}$ with 2012 data. The study of coherent photonuclear production of $J/\psi$ at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5 \,{\rm TeV}$ is performed with PbPb collisions collected during November and December of 2015.
