This Letter reports the observation of τ-lepton-pair production in ultraperipheral lead-lead collisions Pb+Pb→Pb(γγ→ττ)Pb and constraints on the τ-lepton anomalous magnetic moment a_{τ}. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.44  nb^{-1} of LHC Pb+Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02  TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment in 2018. Selected events contain one muon from a τ-lepton decay, an electron or charged-particle track(s) from the other τ-lepton decay, little additional central-detector activity, and no forward neutrons. The γγ→ττ process is observed in Pb+Pb collisions with a significance exceeding 5 standard deviations and a signal strength of μ_{ττ}=1.03_{-0.05}^{+0.06} assuming the standard model value for a_{τ}. To measure a_{τ}, a template fit to the muon transverse-momentum distribution from τ-lepton candidates is performed, using a dimuon (γγ→μμ) control sample to constrain systematic uncertainties. The observed 95% confidence-level interval for a_{τ} is -0.057<0.024.

Abstract

This Letter reports the observation of Formula Presented-lepton-pair production in ultraperipheral lead-lead collisions Formula Presented and constraints on the Formula Presented-lepton anomalous magnetic moment Formula Presented. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of Formula Presented of LHC Formula Presented collisions at Formula Presented recorded by the ATLAS experiment in 2018. Selected events contain one muon from a Formula Presented-lepton decay, an electron or charged-particle track(s) from the other Formula Presented-lepton decay, little additional central-detector activity, and no forward neutrons. The Formula Presented process is observed in Formula Presented collisions with a significance exceeding 5 standard deviations and a signal strength of Formula Presented assuming the standard model value for Formula Presented. To measure Formula Presented, a template fit to the muon transverse-momentum distribution from Formula Presented-lepton candidates is perform...
