Measurement of the differential cross section for γγ → π+π ($2<\sqrt{s}<6$ GeV) and K+K ($2.25<\sqrt{s}<4$ GeV). The cross section as a function of the centre-of-mass energy of the photonic collision is measured, and the differential cross section with respect to the meson scattering angle are measured.
