Two-photon Creation of Lepton Pairs in pp-Collisions.
N. M. Shumeiko, A. V. Soroko, P. M. Starovoitov

We derived formula calculating the cross section of the process of two-photon production of lepton pairs in hadron-hadron collisions based on phenomenological structure function of a hadron. We present numerical results for angular (threefold cross section) and energy (twofold cross section) distributions of the e⁺e^- pairs produced in proton-proton collisions at LHC energy for a wide range of pair mass and energy.
Key words: lepton pair, pair production, two-photon exchange, two-photon production, Drell-Yan process
