Description

We will present an overview of theoretical and phenomenological studies on the partonic structure of nuclei and small-x dynamics of QCD using photon-nucleus scattering in UPCs. In particular, we review implications of exclusive charmonium and inclusive dijet production in Pb-Pb UPCs at the LHC as well as discuss the potential of new measurements of diffractive dijet and inclusive heavy quark production.
