- Abstract
The dilepton production at forward rapidities in diffractive and exclusive processes present in ultraperipheral PbPb collisions at the LHC is investigated. Predictions for the e + e - , μ + μ - and τ + τ - cross sections are presented taking into account of realistic cuts that can be implemented by the LHCb Collaboration in a future experimental analysis. Our results indicate that the background associated with the diffractive production can be strongly suppressed and the exclusive processes can be cleanly separated. For the τ + τ - production, the semi and purely leptonic decay channels are considered. Our results indicate that a future experimental analysis of the dilepton production at the LHCb is feasible and can be useful to search for BSM physics.
