Photoproduction of light vector mesons in Xe-Xe ultraperipheral collisions at the LHC and the nuclear density of Xe-129
Abstract
We make predictions for cross sections of and φ vector meson photoproduction in ultraperipheral Xe-Xe collisions at sNN=5.44 TeV. Analyzing the momentum transfer distribution of mesons in this process, we explore the feasibility of extracting the nuclear density of 129Xe, which is needed in searches for dark matter with Xenon-based detectors.
