3rd International Workshop on the physics of Ultra Peripheral Collisions (UPC 2026)

The third international workshop on the physics of Ultra Peripheral Collisions will be take place in Playa del Carmen, Mexico from December 7-12, 2026. There will be student lectures on the evening of December 6. This is an in-person only event. The following research topics will be discussed: Recent experimental results at HERA, RHIC and LHC Theoretical description of exclusive photon-proton and photon-nucleus scattering Nuclear PDFs developments using photon-induced data Nonlinear and gluon saturation effects in photon-nucleus scattering Hadronization in exclusive processes Soft nucleon and nucleus interactions Photoproduction in events with nuclear overlap Photon-photon physics, precision
