Abstract

We study, for the first time, differential distributions for two ρ0 meson production in exclusive ultraperipheral, ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions via a double-scattering mechanism. The calculations are done in the impact parameter space. The cross section for γA → ρ0 A is parametrized based on an existing model. Smearing of ρ0 masses is taken into account. The results of calculations for single and double-ρ0 production are compared to experimental data at the RHIC and LHC energies. The mechanism considered gives a significant contribution to the AA → AA π+π-π+π- reaction. Some observables related to charged pions are presented too. We compare results of our calculations with the STAR collaboration results for four charged pion production.
