T. Lappi, H. Mäntysaari

We compute cross sections for incoherent and coherent diffractive J/Psi production in ultraperipheral nucleus-nucleus and proton-nucleus collisions using two different dipole models fitted to HERA data. We obtain a reasonably good description of the available ALICE data for coherent J/\Psi production and present our prediction for the incoherent cross section. We also find that while the normalization of the cross section depends quite strongly on the dipole model and vector meson wave function used, the rapidity dependence is very well constrained.
