Description

Novel studies of high energy photon-photon interactions at the LHeC [1] and FCC-eh, at the center-of-mass energy up to 1 TeV and beyond, will open new frontiers in the electroweak physics as well as in searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. Despite very high ep luminosities, the experimental conditions will be very favorable at these colliders - a negligible event pileup will allow for unique studies of a number of processes involving the exclusive production via photon-photon fusion.

The exclusive two-photon production of W, Z, photon and tau pairs at the LHeC and FCC-eh has been benchmarked and is discussed in this paper, along with first estimates of sensitivities to physics beyond the Standard Model expected for the measurements of such processes.
