Abstract
We review our recent results for production of $W^+ W^-$ and $t {\bar t}$ pairs via photon-photon fusion mechanism.
A sketch of theoretical approach is presented. We include transverse momenta of photons in calculation of fluxes of photons. Then we present our results for $W^+ W^-$ production. Results for different parametrizations of proton structure functions are used to calculate inelastic fluxes of photons. A discussion on rapidity gap survival probability due to remnant fragmentation is presented. A similar discussion is presented for $t {\bar t}$ production.

Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and readers, and in "proceeding" format which is more detailed and complete.
