  1. #CMSPaper 1202: When protons pass very close, they can exchange #photons in stead of head-on collide. Those exchanges are rare but can be used to study photon-photon collisions at the #LHC. And this #paper uses these collisions to study the interaction of W bosons with photons.There are only about 150 candidates in 3 year of data taking. These are then used to set the #worldsbest constraint on higher order standard model extensions for this signature! cms-results.web.cern.ch/cms-re #physics #cern
