Exclusive vector meson production with a leading neutron in photon - hadron interactions at hadronic colliders
In this paper we study leading neutron production in photon - hadron
interactions which take place in and collisions at large impact
parameters. Using a model that describes the recent leading neutron data at
HERA, we consider exclusive vector meson production in association with a
leading neutron in collisions at RHIC and LHC energies. The total cross
sections and rapidity distributions of , and produced
together with a leading neutron are computed. Our results indicate that the
study of these processes is feasible and that it can be used to improve the
understanding of leading neutron processes and of exclusive vector meson
production.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, 2 table
Double vector meson production in interactions at hadronic colliders
In this paper we revisit the double vector meson production in interactions at heavy ion collisions and present, by the first time,
predictions for the and production in proton --
nucleus and proton -- proton collisions. In order to obtain realistic
predictions for rapidity distributions and total cross sections for the double
vector production in ultra peripheral hadronic collisions we take into account
of the description of cross section at low
energies as well as its behaviour at large energies, associated to the gluonic
interaction between the color dipoles. Our results demonstrate that the double
production is dominated by the low energy behaviour of the cross section. In contrast, for the double
production, the contribution associated to the description of the QCD dynamics
at high energies contributes significantly, mainly in collisions.
Predictions for the RHIC, LHC, FCC and CEPC - SPPC energies are shown.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Exclusive photoproduction in hadronic collisions at CERN LHC energies
The exclusive photoproduction in proton-proton and proton -
nucleus collisions at LHC energies is investigated using the color dipole
formalism and considering different models for the wave function and
forward dipole - target scattering amplitude. Our goal is to update the color
dipole predictions and estimate the theoretical uncertainty present in these
predictions. We present predictions for the kinematical ranges probed by the
ALICE, CMS and LHCb Collaborations.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures and 3 tables. Version to be published in Physics

Double vector meson production in photon - hadron interactions at hadronic colliders
In this paper we analyse the double vector meson production in photon --
hadron () interactions at collisions and present
predictions for the , and production
considering the double scattering mechanism. We estimate the total cross
sections and rapidity distributions at LHC energies and compare our results
with the predictions for the double vector meson production in
interactions at hadronic colliders. We present predictions for the different
rapidity ranges probed by the ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb Collaborations. Our
results demonstrate that the and production in
collisions is dominated by the double scattering mechanism, while the
two - photon mechanism dominates in collisions. Moreover, our results
indicate that the analysis of the production at LHC can be useful
to constrain the double scattering mechanism.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables. Revised and enlarged version to be

New family of potentials with analytical twiston-like solutions
In this letter we present a new approach to find analytical twiston models.
The effective two-field model was constructed by a non-trivial combination of
two one field systems. In such an approach we successfully build analytical
models which are satisfied by a combination of two defect-like solutions, where
one is responsible to twist the molecular chain by , while the other
implies in a longitudinal movement. Such a longitudinal movement can be fitted
to have the size of the distance between adjacent molecular groups. The
procedure works nicely and can be used to describe the dynamics of several
other molecular chains.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
Non-Local Product Rules for Percolation
Despite original claims of a first-order transition in the product rule model
proposed by Achlioptas et al. [Science 323, 1453 (2009)], recent studies
indicate that this percolation model, in fact, displays a continuous
transition. The distinctive scaling properties of the model at criticality,
however, strongly suggest that it should belong to a different universality
class than ordinary percolation. Here we introduce a generalization of the
product rule that reveals the effect of non-locality on the critical behavior
of the percolation process. Precisely, pairs of unoccupied bonds are chosen
according to a probability that decays as a power-law of their Manhattan
distance, and only that bond connecting clusters whose product of their sizes
is the smallest, becomes occupied. Interestingly, our results for
two-dimensional lattices at criticality shows that the power-law exponent of
the product rule has a significant influence on the finite-size scaling
exponents for the spanning cluster, the conducting backbone, and the cutting
bonds of the system. In all three cases, we observe a continuous variation from
ordinary to (non-local) explosive percolation exponents.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Double vector meson production in the International Linear Collider
In this paper we study double vector meson production in
interactions at high energies and, using the color dipole picture, estimate the
main observables which can be probed at the International Linear Collider
(ILC). The total
cross-sections for , , and are computed
and the energy and virtuality dependencies are studied in detail. Our results
demonstrate that the experimental analysis of this process is feasible at the
ILC and it can be useful to constrain the QCD dynamics at high energies.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figure
Production of exotic charmonium in interactions at hadronic colliders
In this paper we investigate the Exotic Charmonium (EC) production in interactions present in proton-proton, proton-nucleus and
nucleus-nucleus collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies as
well as for the proposed energies of the Future Circular Collider (FCC). Our
results demonstrate that the experimental study of these processes is feasible
and can be used to constrain the theoretical decay widths and shed some light
on the configuration of the considered multiquark states.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, 3 tables. v2: Revised version published in
