Exclusive production in CMS

Abstract

We discuss the CMS capabilities of measuring vector mesons in pp and heavyion collisions based on the recent results of the exclusive dilepton and diboson production. Studies evaluating the detection of exclusive J/ψ and ϒ vector meson photoproduction in the dimuon decay channel are presented. As a result, we report the measurements performed with the CMS detector that are in the invariant mass range relevant for future studies of exclusive vector meson photoproduction in CMS.
