Coherent photoproduction of J/Psi and high-mass e+e- pairs in ultra-peripheral Au+Au collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 200 GeV

Abstract

High energy ultra-peripheral collisions (UPC) of heavy-ions generate strong electromagnetic fields which open the possibility to study gamma-gamma and gamma-nucleus processes in a kinematic regime so far unexplored. We report on preliminary PHENIX results of J/Psi and high-mass e+e- photoproduction at mid-rapidity in coherent electromagnetic Au+Au interactions at sqrt(sNN) = 200 GeV tagged with forward neutron emission from the Au* dissociation.
