description

The cross section for exclusive $\Upsilon$ ultraperipheral photoproduction at present and future colliders is determined using the low $x$ gluon PDF extracted from an analysis of exclusive $J/\psi$ measurements performed at HERA and the LHC. Predictions are given at next-to-leading order in collinear factorisation over a wide $\gamma p$ centre-of-mass energy range, calculated assuming the non-relativistic approximation for the $\Upsilon$ wave function, and with skewing corrections incorporated.
