Description

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