At the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory and at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, particles will be produced in coherent and diffractive nuclear interactions. In extremely peripheral nuclear collisions (b$>$2R), coherent interactions occur at very high rates and are dominated by photon-Pomeron or photon-meson processes. In these reactions, the photon and the Pomeron/meson from the electromagnetic and nuclear fields couple coherently to all nucleons. The rates for photonuclear interactions are roughly two orders of magnitude larger than for two-photon interactions at comparable center-of-mass energies.
