Description
Using the Gribov-Glauber model for photon-nucleus scattering and a
generalization of the vector meson dominance model for the hadronic
structure of the photon, we calculate cross-sections of light and heavy
vector meson photoproduction in ultraperipheral Xe–Xe collisions at 5.44
TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. Analyzing the momentum transfer
distribution in this process, we examine the feasibility to extract the nuclear form factors of
various isotopes of Xe, which are needed in searches for dark matter
with Xenon-based detectors.
