The future Large Hadron-Electron Collider (LHeC) provides a unique platform to explore high-energy photon-photon ($\gamma \gamma$) interactions in electron-proton collisions. This talk focuses on the exclusive production of lepton pairs and the potential to probe supersymmetric particles, such as higgsinos, through photon-induced processes. Utilizing the Equivalent Photon Approximation (EPA),...
In my talk, I will describe recent progress in the study of a family of virtual Compton scattering (VCS) processes within the framework of generalized parton distributions (GPDs). This includes deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS), timelike Compton scattering (TCS), and double deeply virtual Compton scattering (DDVCS). I will also focus on the measurability of these processes in upcoming...
The two-photon exclusive production of lepton pairs at the Electron–Ion Collider will open interesting research directions thanks to a very high luminosity and clean experimental conditions. A survey of the scientific potential of such studies is reported. In particular, we consider unique measurements of the proton elastic electromagnetic form-factors and a possibility of studying the...
CepGen is a matrix element level Monte Carlo generator intended for the simulation of central exclusive processes (and in particular $\gamma\gamma$) at LHC. In the recent years, numerous extensions allowed it to simulate an even broader range, e.g. diffraction and UPC interactions.
In this talk, the generator will be presented along its modular extensions capability, allowing e.g. the...
