Description

Ultraperipheral lead-lead collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\mathrm{NN}}}} =$ 5.02 TeV produce very large photon fluxes that fundamental quantum-mechanical processes can be observed and well studied. Measurements of tau lepton pair in ultraperipheral PbPb collisions with data collected by CMS during the LHC Run 2 will be presented for the first time. The measurement paves the way for the determination of the anomalous magnetic moment of the tau lepton, currently poorly constrained.
