Equivalent photons in proton-proton and ion-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider

The equivalent photon approximation is used to calculate fiducial cross sections for dimuon production in ultraperipheral proton-proton and lead-lead collisions. Analytic formulas taking experimental cuts into account are derived. The results are compared with the measurements reported by the ATLAS...

Description
Summary:The equivalent photon approximation is used to calculate fiducial cross sections for dimuon production in ultraperipheral proton-proton and lead-lead collisions. Analytic formulas taking experimental cuts into account are derived. The results are compared with the measurements reported by the ATLAS collaboration.
