Exclusive and dissociative J/$\psi$ photoproduction, and exclusive dimuon production, in p$-$Pb collisions at $sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} = 8.16$ TeV

The ALICE Collaboration reports three measurements in ultra-peripheral proton$-$lead collisions at forward rapidity. The exclusive two-photon process $\gamma \gamma \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ and the exclusive photoproduction of J/$\psi$ are studied. J/$\psi$ photoproduction with proton dissociation...

Sumario:The ALICE Collaboration reports three measurements in ultra-peripheral proton$-$lead collisions at forward rapidity. The exclusive two-photon process $\gamma \gamma \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ and the exclusive photoproduction of J/$\psi$ are studied. J/$\psi$ photoproduction with proton dissociation is measured for the first time at a hadron collider. The cross section for the two-photon process of dimuons in the invariant mass range from 1 to 2.5 GeV/$c^2$ agrees with leading order quantum electrodynamics calculations. The exclusive and dissociative cross sections for J/$\psi$ photoproductions are measured for photon$-$proton centre-of-mass energies from 27 to 57 GeV. The measurements on J/$\psi$ photoproduction are in good agreement with HERA results.
