Exclusive dilepton production in ultraperipheral PbPb collisions at the LHC

Abstract In this paper we perform a systematic study of the exclusive dilepton production by $$\gamma \gamma $$ γγ interactions in PbPb collisions at the LHC Run 2 energies considering different levels of precision for the treatment of the absorptive corrections and for the nuclear form factor. The...
