contents In this work, we present a next-to-leading-order (NLO) study of $J/ψ+ γ$ production via photon-photon fusion in proton-proton ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 14$ TeV. The calculation is performed within the nonrelativistic Quantum Chromodynamics (NRQCD) framework, where we employ photon parton distribution functions derived from the proton's electric-dipole form factor (EDFF) and explicitly retain their dependence on the impact parameter $b$. Our calculation yields cross sections of $155$ fb at leading order and between $107.5$ fb and $130$ fb at NLO in $α_s$, demonstrating a moderate but manageable $α_s$ suppression. Despite this reduction, the process retains a sufficiently large cross section to be observable in future high-luminosity measurements.
