  The exclusive photoproduction of the $J/\psi$ state is investigated in
peripheral AA collisions for the energies available at the LHC, $\sqrt{s}=2.76$
TeV and $\sqrt{s}=5.02$ TeV. In order to evaluate the robustness of the
light-cone color dipole formalism, previously tested in the ultraperipheral
regime, the rapidity distribution and the nuclear modification factor
($R_{AA}$) were calculated for three centrality classes: 30%-50%, 50%-70% and
70%-90%. In the peripheral regime, three scenarios were considered. In the
scenario 1, a similar formalism adopted in the UPC regime is used; in the
scenario 2, one considers that only the spectators in the target are the ones
that interact coherently with the photon; in the scenario 3, the photonuclear
cross section is modified using the same geometrical constraints applyed in the
scenario 2. The results obtained from the three scenarios were compared with
the ALICE measurements (only $J/\psi$ at the moment), showing a better
agreement in the more complete approach (scenario 3), mainly in the more
central regions (30%-50% and 50%-70%) where the incertainty is smaller.
