Summary of this research (5-10 lines)

It is recently known that ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs) have
large cross section compared with that of QCD at forward rapidity.
Thus UPCs may provide significant level of background contribution
to an investigation on forward QCD. We plan to qualitatively estimate
the fraction of the UPC background events among events detected
by RHIC-ZDC and RHIC-BBC.
