Аннотация
Photoproduction reactions occur when the electromagnetic field of a relativistic heavy ion interacts with another heavy ion. The STAR Collaboration presents a measurement of 0 and direct + -photoproduction in ultraperipheral relativistic heavy ion collisions at s NN = 200 GeV. We observe both exclusive photoproduction and photoproduction accompanied by mutual Coulomb excitation. We find a coherent cross section of (AuAu Au * Au * 0 ) = 530 19(stat.) 57(syst.) mb, in accord with theoretical calculations based on a Glauber approach, but considerably below the predictions of a color dipole model. The 0 transverse momentum spectrum (p 2 T ) is fit by a double exponential curve including both coherent and incoherent coupling to the target nucleus; we find inc / coh = 0.29
