| Özet |
| Evidence for the light-by-light scattering process, γ γ→ γ γ, in ultraperipheral PbPb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV is reported. The analysis is conducted using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 390 μ b− 1 recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC. Light-by-light scattering processes are selected in events with two photons exclusively produced, each with transverse energy E T γ> 2 GeV, pseudorapidity| η γ|< 2.4, diphoton invariant mass m γ γ> 5 GeV, diphoton transverse momentum p T γ γ< 1 GeV, and diphoton acoplanarity below 0.01. After all selection criteria are applied, 14 events are observed, compared to expectations of 9.0±0.9 (theo) events for the signal and 4.0±1.2 (stat) for the background processes. The excess observed in data relative to the background-only expectation corresponds to a significance of 3.7 standard deviations, and has … |
