Description
ALICE has measured the coherent photo-nuclear production of $\rho^0$, J/$\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ vector mesons at mid-rapidity in ultra-peripheral collisions of lead nuclei. These processes provide information on the gluon structure of the nuclear target at low Bjorken-$x$. The talk will cover the results from LHC Run1 data, as well as discuss the current status and prospects for analyses with LHC Run2 data.
