We show that introducing subnucleon scale fluctuations constrained by HERA diffractive $J/\Psi$ production data significantly affects the incoherent diffractive $J/\Psi$ production cross section in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions. We find that the inclusion of the additional fluctuations increases the ratio of the incoherent to the coherent cross section approximately by a factor of $2$, and modifies the transverse momentum spectra of the produced $J/\Psi$ at momenta larger than the scale that corresponds to the distance scale of the subnucleonic fluctuations. We present predictions for $J/\Psi$ production in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02\,{\rm TeV}$ at the LHC and $200\,{\rm GeV}$ at RHIC.

  1. When JIMWLK evolution really matters: the example of incoherent diffraction

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    JIMWLK evolution gives larger incoherent diffraction cross sections than the Gaussian approximation for photon-nucleus collisions because the latter is invalid for four-gluon starting correlators.

  2. Nuclear structure and saturation effects from diffractive vector meson production

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Predictions for vector meson production in light-nucleus UPCs show t-differential observables sensitive to nuclear structure models and saturation suppression that grows with nuclear mass and collision energy.
