Abstract
We make predictions for cross sections of ρ and ϕ vector meson photoproduction in ultraperipheral Xe–Xe collisions at sNN=5.44TeV. Analyzing the momentum transfer distribution of ρ 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.

Collisions of ultrarelativistic ions at large impact parameters– the so-called ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) – provide opportunities to explore photon–photon, photon–proton, and photon–nucleus interactions at previously unattainable high energies [1].In particular, a test run of collisions of Xenon ions was performed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Fall 2017
