Single- and double-scattering production of four muons in ultraperipheral PbPb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (1708.07742v1)
Published 25 Aug 2017 in hep-ph, hep-ex, and nucl-th
Abstract: We discuss production of two $\mu+\mu-$ pairs in ultraperipheral ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions at the LHC. We take into account electromagnetic (two-photon) double-scattering production and for a first time direct $\gamma\gamma$ production of four muons in one scattering. We study the unexplored process $\gamma \gamma \to \mu+\mu-\mu+\mu-$. We present predictions for total and differential cross sections. Measurable nuclear cross sections are obtained and corresponding differential distributions and counting rates are presented.
