Measurement of the exclusive γγ → μ + μ − process in proton–proton collisions at s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

et al.
Abstract

The production of exclusive γ γ → μ + μ − events in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is measured with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb−1. The measurement is performed for a dimuon invariant mass of 12 GeV < m μ + μ − < 70 GeV . The integrated cross-section is determined within a fiducial acceptance region of the ATLAS detector and differential cross-sections are measured as a function of the dimuon invariant mass. The results are compared to theoretical predictions both with and without corrections for absorptive effects.
