Possible signal and background sources<br />

• Non-physical sources:<br />

� Cosmic rays:<br />

� no vertex, � no ZDC.<br />

� Beam gas <strong>in</strong>teractions:<br />

�no vertex, � large multiplicities.<br />

⇒ Trigger criterion gets rid of those<br />

• Physical sources:<br />

� Peripheral nuclear A+A <strong>collisions</strong>:<br />

� large multiplicities, � large p T .<br />

� Hadronic diffractive (Pomeron-Pomeron, rapidity gap):<br />

� forward proton emission, � larger p T : p T (γγ) < p T (PP),<br />

� expect like-sign pairs too.<br />

⇒ Analysis cuts gets rid of them<br />

� Incoherent UPC: γ+n → n+J/ψ<br />

� wider p T : p T (γγ) < p T (γP), � asymmetry dN/dy,<br />

� >2 neutrons (<strong>in</strong>duced nuclear break-up) w/ same direction as J/Ψ.<br />

� Coherent UPC: γ+γ → e + e - , γ+Α → X+J/ψ, γ+A → jet(s)+A<br />

Sensitive to coherent and <strong>in</strong>coherent UPC<br />
