Exclusive photon-photon production of muon pairs in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV

Experiment: CMS (LHC)

Inspire ID: 954992

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - David d’Enterria - Jonathan Hollar - Sercan Sen

References: - arXiv: 1111.5536

Beams: p+ p+

Beam energies: (3500.0, 3500.0)GeV

Run details: - gamma gamma TO mu+ mu- process.

A measurement of the exclusive two-photon production of muon pairs in proton-proton collisions at at a centre-of-mass energy 7 TeV with the final state pμ+μp, is reported using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 40 pb1 collected in 2010. The measured cross section is obtained with a fit to the dimuon pT distribution for muon pairs with invariant mass greater than 11.5 GeV with each muon pT > 4 GeV and |η| < 2.1.
