Abstract
With the advent of the Large Hadron Collider(LHC), experimental high energy physicsgained access to brand new kinematical regions. Experiments performed here allow us to explore the realms heretofore unknown and unseen by our forebears through the use of the higher energies and the collisions of different types of particles. Collisions between protons and lead ions were conducted at center of mass energies of 8.16 TeV representing an extremely large increase in center of mass energy from previous experiments. In this dissertation, a gap shall be filled in the understanding related to the photoproduction of diffractive d¼ets by utilizing data collected at the LHC in 2016. Through the use of this enormous energy, we will see for the first time such events at these energies and a measurement of ZIP and x shall be conducted. Such events allow us to have a remarkable probe into the very nature of one of Quantum Chromodyanamic’s most mysterious objects, the pomeron.
