ATLAS_2018_I1615866

Exclusive photon-photon production of muon pairs in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV
Experiment: ATLAS (LHC)
Inspire ID: 1615866
Status: VALIDATED
Authors:
  • Peter Richardson
References:
  • Phys.Lett.B 777 (2018) 303-323
Beams: p+ p+
Beam energies: (6500.0, 6500.0) GeV
Run details:
  • gamma gamma -> mu+ mu- process.

The production of exclusive $\gamma\gamma\to\mu^+\mu^-$ 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 $3.2 \text{fb}^{-1}$. The measurement is performed for a dimuon invariant mass of between 12 GeV and 70 GeV, including the differential cross section as a function of the mass.
