Résumé : | A search for exclusive or semi-exclusive production, pp → p(*) +γ γ+p(*) (where p* stands for a diffractively- dissociated proton), and the observation of exclusive and semi-exclusive e +e - production, pp → p(*) + e +e - + p(*), in proton-proton collisions at √s = 7TeV, are presented. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb -1 recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC at low instantaneous luminosities. Candidate γ γor e +e - events are selected by requiring the presence of two photons or a positron and an electron, each with transverse energy E T > 5.5 GeV and pseudorapidity |
