Initial observation:Provided efficient measurement of very forward-scattered protons one can study high-energy collisions at the LHC
Highlights:• CM energy W up to/beyond 1 TeV (and under control)
L h t fl F th f i ifi t l i it• Large photon flux F therefore significant luminosity• Complementary (and clean) physics to pp interactions, eg studies of exclusive production of heavy particles might be possible opens new field high energy (and p) physicspossible opens new field high energy (and p) physics

DISCLAIMER:
This is NOT meant for studying all photon interactionsy g pat the LHC but those for which the QCD (diffraction!) background can be strongly suppressed, as for example in the exclusive production of pairs of charged non-strongly interacting particles.
This IS meant for studying production of selected final states in photon interactions at the LHC.
Note: At Tevatron available energy too small for EW physics (but enough for lepton pairs – CDF published several measurements of exclusive two‐photon production of these)

physics in ion collisionsTo profit from Z4 enhancement in two photon interactionsTo profit from Z4 enhancement in two‐photon interactions one has to fulfill coherence condition: xM 1/(2R), where M and R are the ion mass and radius, respectively.
• Using empirical parameterization of R = 1.25 fm A1/3 one gets 1/(2R) equal to 48 and 20 MeV for oxygen (A=16) and l d (A 208) ti l thi l d t th f ll ilead (A=208) respectively; this leads to the following coherence conditions:
