We discuss diphoton semi(exclusive) production in ultraperipheral
lead-lead collisions at energy of √sNN = 5.5 TeV (LHC)
and in proton-proton collisions at √spp = 7 TeV (LHC)
and √spp = 100 TeV (FCC).
The nuclear calculations are based on equivalent photon approximation
in the impact parameter space.
The cross sections for elementary γγ→γγ subprocess
are calculated including three different mechanisms:
box diagrams with leptons and quarks in the loops,
a VDM-Regge contribution with virtual intermediate hadronic excitations
of the photons and the two-gluon exchange contribution.
We get relatively high cross sections in heavy ion collisions.
This opens a possibility to study the light-by-light
(quasi)elastic scattering at the LHC.
We find that the cross section for elastic γγ scattering
could be measured in the lead-lead collisions for the diphoton invariant
mass up to Wγγ≈ 15 - 20 GeV.
Our Standard Model predictions are compared to a recent ATLAS
experimental result.
We present differential distributions for PbPb→PbPbγγ
and pp→ppγγ reaction.
