Abstract
The presence of a large flux of photons accompanying relativistic heavy ion beams leads to a significant number of photon-induced processes, including photon-photon fusion. These processes are remarkably clean with little or no remnant activity from the interacting particles. This document presents the status of photon-photon fusion measurements resulting in either two photons ($\gamma\gamma \rightarrow \gamma\gamma$) or two charged leptons ($\gamma\gamma \rightarrow l^{+}l^{-}$) in the final state, as measured by the ATLAS and CMS experiments in ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions.

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.
