Abstract
The exclusive photoproduction of upsilon states is investigated in the context of ultra-peripheral collisions at the LHC energies. Predictions are presented for their production in proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at the energies available at the LHC run 2. The theoretical framework considered in the analysis is the light-cone color dipole formalism, which includes consistently parton saturation effects and nuclear shadowing corrections. For PbPb collisions we consider both the coherent and incoherent contributions.
