Evidence for exclusive γγ → W⁺ W⁻ production and constraints on anomalous quartic gauge couplings in pp collisions at √s = 7 and 8 TeV

A search for exclusive or quasi-exclusive γγ → W⁺W⁻ production, via pp → p (*) W⁺W⁻p (*) → p (*) μ ± e ∓ p (*) at √s = 8 TeV, is reported using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb⁻¹. Events are selected by requiring the presence of an electron-muon pair with large transverse mo...
