TL;DR
SuperChic is a Monte Carlo generator that models photon-photon collisions and central exclusive production, accurately incorporating soft survival effects and enabling detailed studies of processes like light-by-light scattering.
Contribution
This work introduces and discusses the SuperChic generator's capabilities for simulating photon-photon collisions with a focus on survival factor treatment and future enhancements.
Findings
Successful implementation of photon-photon collision processes
Accurate treatment of soft survival effects in simulations
Framework for extending to additional photon-induced processes
Abstract
The SuperChic Monte Carlo generator provides a common platform for QCD-mediated, photoproduction and photon-induced Central Exclusive Production (CEP), with a fully differential treatment of soft survival effects. In these proceedings we summarise the processes generated, before discussing in more detail those due to photon-photon collisions, paying special attention to the correct treatment of the survival factor. We briefly consider the light-by-light scattering process as an example, before discussing planned extensions and refinements for the generator.
