| ABSTRACT: |
The physics of ultraperipheral nucleus-nucleus collisions is explained.
The first results from RHIC are reviewed as well as the small x dynamics
which could be studied using ultraperipheral nucleus-nucleus and
proton-nucleus collisions at LHC. Our analysis suggests that for
a range of important small x QCD phenomena which were studied at HERA
it will be possible to reach energies which are by a factor of 10 higher
than those reached at HERA for electron- proton scattering. Consequently
it will be possible to explore QCD in the domain where the strength of
nonlinearities is substantially higher than both at HERA and eRHIC.
