Description
We will report on new results concerning exclusive dilepton and diphoton production with the CMS-TOTEM Precision Proton Spectrometer (CT-PPS). For the first time, exclusive dileptons at high masses have been observed in the CMS detector while at least one or the two intact protons are measured in CT-PPS using about 10 fb-1 of data accumulated in 2016. These first results show a good understanding, calibration and alignment of the new CT-PPS detectors installed in 2016. In addition, preliminary results and expectations will be discussed concerning the search for high mass exclusive diphoton production.
