We discuss the physics of large impact parameter interactions at the LHC: ultraperipheral
collisions (UPCs). The dominant processes in UPCs are photon–nucleon (nucleus) …

ALICE is a general-purpose heavy-ion experiment designed to study the physics of strongly
interacting matter and the quark–gluon plasma in nucleus–nucleus collisions at the LHC. It …

We study mutual dissociation of heavy nuclei in peripheral collisions at ultrarelativistic
energies. Earlier this process was proposed for beam luminosity monitoring via …

Electromagnetic interactions of high-energy nuclei in ultraperipheral collisions are
considered. Such collisions, which take place without any overlap of nuclear densities, can …

Experimental data and theoretical results on charge loss− 27⩽ Δ Z⩽− 1, charge pickup Δ
Z=+ 1, and total charge-changing cross sections for 158 A GeV Pb 82 208 ions on CH 2, C …

New data on forward neutron emission in fragmentation of 30 A-GeV Pb 208 ions on Al, Cu,
Sn, and Pb nuclei are presented. The measurements were performed at the CERN SPS in …

ALICE is a general-purpose heavy-ion experiment designed to study the physics of strongly
interacting matter and the quark–gluon plasma in nucleus–nucleus collisions at the LHC. It …

A strong increase of inclusive nuclear-charge pickup cross sections, forming 83 Bi from 1 5 8
A GeV 82 Pb ions, is observed in comparison to similar measurements at 1 0. 6 A GeV. From …

We present a new approach for calculating the electromagnetic excitation of nuclei as well
as probabilities of emission and different distributions of neutrons from decays of excited …

The main goal of the dissertation is theoretical determination of the total and differential
cross sections for the production of pairs of mesons, leptons and quarks in ultraperipheral …
