Abstract

We report results on high energy photoproduction from the PHENIX experiment. Using Run 4 Au-Au data taken with an ultra-peripheral trigger (requiring a rapidity gap in 3.0 ⩽ η ⩽ 3.9 ). We find 10 ± 3 candidates for diffractive J / ψ photoproduction and of order 40 candidates for continuum e + e − photoproduction in the mass range m e e ⩾ 1.8 GeV / c 2 . We then discuss prospects and rates for hard photoproduction at the LHC with Pb-Pb beam collisions and p-Pb.
