摘要
The ultra-peripheral Pb+Pb collisions at root s(NN) = 5:02 TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment are used to study a rare light-by-light scattering process, gamma gamma -> gamma gamma, allowed in quantum electrodynamics via a loop diagram. The report summarises recent light-by-light measurements conducted using a combination of 2015 and 2018 Pb+Pb data sets collected by the ATLAS experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 nb. The light-by-light event candidates are required to consist of only two photons produced exclusively, each with transverse energy ET > 2:5 GeV, pseudorapidity vertical bar eta vertical bar < 2:4, diphoton invariant mass m(gamma gamma) > 5 GeV, and with diphoton transverse momentum p(T gamma gamma) < 1 GeV and acoplanarity below 0.01. The diphoton invariant mass distribution is used to set limits on the production of axion-like particles.
