Description
Measurements of muon pairs produced via two-photon scattering processes in hadronic (i.e. Non-UPC) Pb+Pb collisions are also presented. These non-UPC measurements provide a novel test of strong-field QED and may be a potentially sensitive electromagnetic probe of the quark-gluon plasma. These measurements include the dependence of the cross-section and angular correlation on the mean-$p_{\mathrm{T}}$ of the dimuon pair, the rapidity separation between the muons, and the pair angle relative to the second-order event plane, all measured differentially as a function of the Pb+Pb collision centrality. The presented results are compared with recent theory calculations.
