Abstract

In this work the double vector meson production in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions is investigated within the BFKL approach. The integrated cross sections and event rates for the processes AA --> V1 V2 AA (V_i = rho, omega, phi, J/Psi, Upsilon) are computed and theoretical estimates for scattering on both light and heavy nuclei are given for energies of RHIC and LHC.
