Wednesday 4 April 2018 Speaker: Stewart Martin-Haugh (RAL/PPD) Title: "Photon-initiated processes at ATLAS” Abstract: Maxwell's equations predict linear behaviour of light, but quantum electrodynamics allows for various non-linear phenomena including the scattering of photon pairs. I will present the landmark ATLAS study of light-by-light scattering and other effects including the elastic production of lepton pairs.
