TL;DR
This paper uses the equivalent photon approximation to calculate and compare dimuon production cross sections in ultraperipheral proton-proton and lead-lead collisions at the LHC, incorporating experimental cuts and validating against ATLAS data.
Contribution
It provides analytical formulas for fiducial cross sections with experimental cuts and compares theoretical predictions with experimental measurements at the LHC.
Findings
Good agreement with ATLAS measurements
Analytical formulas effectively incorporate experimental cuts
Highlights differences between proton-proton and ion-ion collisions
Abstract
Equivalent photon approximation is used to calculate fiducial cross sections for dimuon production in ultraperipheral proton-proton and lead-lead collisions. Analytical formulae taking into account experimental cuts are derived. The results are compared with the measurements reported by the ATLAS collaboration.
