Description
In this contribution we analyze the double vector meson production in photon–hadron interactions at the LHC and present predictions for the $\rho \rho$, $\phi \phi$, $J/\Psi J/\Psi$, $\rho J/\Psi$ and $\phi J/\Psi$ production considering the double scattering mechanism. We estimate the total cross sections and rapidity distributions at LHC energies and compare our results with the predictions for the double vector meson production in $\gamma \gamma$ interactions at hadronic colliders. We present predictions for the different rapidity ranges probed by the ALICE and LHCb detectors. Our results indicate that the analysis of the double vector meson production at the LHC can be useful to constrain the double-scattering mechanism and improve our understanding of the QCD dynamics.
