Photoproduction of Light Vector Meson in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

We calculate the hard photoproduction of light vector meson from the fragmentation of photon in Pb Pb col- lisions. Using the perturbative quantum chromodynamics calculation, we rigorously derive the electromagnetic fragmentation production for p, co and Ф in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions by the photoproduction pro- cesses. It is shown that the differential cross section of photoproduction processes of light vector meson cannot be negligible in relativistic heavy ion collisions at Large Hadron Collider energies.
