Özet
A search for exclusive or semi-exclusive γγ production, pp→ p (*)+ γγ+ p (*)(where p* stands for a diffractively-dissociated proton), and the observation of exclusive and semi-exclusive e+ e− production, pp→ p (*)+ e+ e−+ p (*), in proton-proton collisions at TeV, are presented. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb− 1 recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC at low instantaneous luminosities. Candidate γγ or e+ e− events are selected by requiring the presence of two photons or a positron and an electron, each with transverse energy E T> 5. 5 GeV and pseudorapidity| η|< 2. 5, and no other particles in the region| η|< 5. 2. No exclusive or semi-exclusive diphoton candidates are found in the data. An upper limit on the cross section for the reaction pp→ p (*)+ γγ+ p (*), within the above kinematic selections, is set at 1.18 pb at 95% confidence level …
