| Abstract | |
This work is dedicated to the study of the photoproduction of vector mesons in ultra-peripheral collisions. This study was accomplished by means of the Monte Carlo code CRISP which gained updates and implementations in order to allow the calculation of the collisions. A model for the generation of the spectrum of equivalent photons that interact with the target was designed. Also, new photo-absorption channels for the multipion photoproduction were introduced in the code. They are essential to the description of the nuclear environment at high energies. Altoghether, 84 channels were implemented. In particular, the production of the J/$\\psi$ vector meson in Pb-Pb collision at $\\sqrt = 2.76$ TeV and in Au-Au collisions at $\\sqrt = 200$ GeV was studied. (AU) | |
