We studied polarisation-dependent exclusive J/ production in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC energies and in eA collisions at EIC energies, in the framework of color glass condensate effective theory. The azimuthal averaged J/ production cross section measured by STAR and ALICE is accurately described by our calculation. We further predict significant cos 2 azimuthal asymmetries both in UPCs and in eA collisions, which are attributed to the linearly polarized photon, the double-slit interference effect in photonuclear reactions, and the final state soft photon radiation effect. This study may provide further information on limiting gluon transverse spatial distribution inside large nuclei.
