We discuss photon-photon fusion mechanisms of dilepton production in proton-proton collisions with rapidity gap in the main detector and one forward proton in the forward proton detectors. This is relevant for the LHC measurements by…
We discuss production of $W^+ W^-$ pairs in proton-proton collisions induced by two-photon fusion including, for a first time, transverse momenta of incoming photons. The unintegrated inelastic fluxes (related to proton dissociation) of…
We present a formalism which uses fluxes of equivalent photons including transverse momenta of the intermediate photons. The formalism reminds the familiar $k_t$-factorization approach used, e.g., to study the two-photon production of…
We propose a new experimental method to probe the photon parton distribution function inside the proton (photon PDF) at LHC energies. The method is based on the measurement of dilepton production from the $\gamma p\rightarrow\ell^+\ell^-+X$…
Recently, significant enhancements of $e^{+} e^{-}$ pair production at very low transverse momentum ($p_{T} < 0.15$ GeV/c) were observed by the STAR collaboration in peripheral hadronic A+A collisions. This excesses can not be described by…
The first measurement of e$^+$e$^-$ pair production at mid-rapidity ($|\eta_{{\rm e}}|$ $<$ 0.8) in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV with ALICE at the LHC is presented. The dielectron production is studied as a function of the invariant…
This paper investigates the electromagnetic production of lepton pairs with low transverse momentum in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We estimate the initial photons' transverse momentum contributions by employing models where the…
The photon-photon interaction in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision is a source of the $(e^+,e^-)$ pairs. The photon-photon fusion leads the lepton creation in the broad configuration space around "collision" point. Those created close…
In this paper we propose the study of the $W^+W^-$ and $\mu^+\mu^-$ production by two-photon interactions in $pp$ collisions at LHC energies to constrain the photon flux associated to an ultrarelativistic proton. We consider the current…
We discuss new subleading processes for inclusive production of $W^+ W^-$ pairs. We focus mainly on photon-photon induced processes. We include elastic-elastic, elastic-inelastic, inelastic-elastic and inelastic-inelastic contributions. The…
We study the lepton pair photoproduction in peripheral heavy-ion collisions based on the formalism in our previous work [Phys. Rev. D 104, 056011 (2021)]. We present the numerical results for the distributions of the transverse momentum,…
We discuss the mechanism of dilepton production in proton-proton scattering via fusion of virtual photons with identification of one proton on either side. This is relevant for the ATLAS+AFP and CMS+PPS at the LHC. Transverse momenta of the…
We discuss production of $J/\psi$ and $e^+ e^-$ pairs in semicentral and peripheral collisions of heavy ions at high energies. We focus on photoproduction mechanism. We present explanation of results of the ALICE collaboration for low…
We discuss photon-photon fusion mechanisms of dilepton production in proton-proton collisions with rapidity gap in the main detector and one forward proton in the forward proton detectors. This is relevant for the LHC measurements by…
The STAR collaboration has observed an excess production of $e^+e^-$ pairs in relativistic heavy ion collisions, over the expectations from hadronic production models. The excess pairs have transverse momenta $p_T < 150\ {\rm MeV}/c$ and…
We study the invariant-mass distributions of dileptons produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at very low pair transverse momenta, $P_T\leq 0.15$ GeV. Specifically, we investigate the interplay of thermal radiation with initial…
We discuss many new subleading processes for inclusive production of $W^+ W^-$ pairs not included in the literature so far. We focus on photon-photon induced processes. We include elastic-elastic, elastic-inelastic, inelastic-elastic and…
We re-examine the current state of the art for the calculation of photon-initiated processes at the LHC, as formulated in terms of a photon PDF in the proton that may be determined rather precisely from the known proton structure functions.…
We discuss the mechanisms of photon-photon fusion triggering the dilepton production in proton-proton collisions with rapidity gap in the main detector and one forward proton in the forward proton detectors. This correspond to the LHC…
The first measurement of the ${\rm e}^{+}{\rm e}^{-}$ pair production at low lepton pair transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T,ee}$) and low invariant mass ($m_{\rm ee}$) in non-central Pb$-$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV at the…
