| Abstract: Exclusive $\rho(770)^{0}$ photoproduction is studied for the first time in ultra-peripheral pPb collisions at ${\sqrt {\smash [b]{s_{_{\mathrm {NN}}}}}} = $ 5.02 TeV. The cross section, $\sigma (\gamma \mathrm{p} \rightarrow \rho(770)^{0} \rm{p})$, is measured for photon-proton centre-of-mass energies, $W_{\gamma \rm{p}}$, between 29 and 213 GeV with the CMS experiment. The integrated cross section is measured to be $\sigma = $ 11.2 $\pm$ 1.4 (stat) $\pm$ 1.0 (syst) $\mu$b. The differential cross section ${\mathrm{d}}\sigma/{\mathrm{d}}|t|$ is measured in the 0.025 $ < |t| < $ 1.000 GeV$^{2}$ interval as a function of $W_{\gamma \rm{p}}$, where $t$ is the squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex. The results are compared to previous measurements and theoretical predictions. The measured cross section $\sigma (\gamma \mathrm{p} \rightarrow \rho(770)^{0}\rm{p})$ has a power-law energy dependence, consistent with HERA measurements. The $W_{\gamma \rm{p}}$ dependence of the exponential slope of the ${\mathrm{d}}\sigma/{\mathrm{d}}|t|$ cross section for exclusive $\rho(770)^{0}$ photoproduction is also measured. | ||

| Summary |
| In summary, the CMS Collaboration has made the first LHC measurement of the exclusive $rho(770)^{0}$ photoproduction off protons in UPC pPb collisions at ${\sqrt {\smash [b]{s_{_{\mathrm {NN}}}}}} = $ 5.02 TeV. The cross section of this process is measured in the photon-proton centre-of-mass energy interval 29 $ < W_{\gamma \rm{p}} < $ 213 GeV. The total cross section reproduces well the measurements performed by the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations at HERA. The combination of the present data and the earlier, lower energy results is in good agreement with theoretically inspired fits. The differential cross section d$\sigma/\rm{d}|t|$ for $rho(770)^{0}$ photoproduction is measured as a function of $W_{\gamma \rm{p}}$ and compared to STARLIGHT predictions. |
