The ALICE Collaboration at the LHC has measured the J/and hotoproduction at mid-rapidity in ultra-peripheral Pbb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}}=2.76~\mathrm{TeV}$ . The charmonium is identified via its leptonic decay for events where the hadronic activity is required to be minimal. The analysis is based on an event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 231. The cross section for coherent and incoherent J/production in the rapidity interval 0.9<y<0.9, are $\mathrm{d}\sigma_{\mathrm{J}/\psi}^{\mathrm{coh}}/\mathrm{d}y = 2.38^{+0.34}_{-0.24} (\mathrm{sta+sys} )~\mathrm{mb}$ and $\mathrm{d}\sigma_{\mathrm{J}/\psi}^{\mathrm{inc}}/\mathrm{d}y = 0.98^{+0.19}_{-0.17} (\mathrm{sta}+\mathrm{sys})~\mathrm{mb}$ , respectively. The results are compared to theoretical models for J/production and the coherent cross section is found to be in good agreement with those models incorporating moderate nuclear gluon shadowing at Bjorken-x around 103, such as EPS09 parametrization. In addition the cross section for the process ám class="a-plus-plus">e + e has been measured and found to be in agreement with models implementing QED at leading order.
