Dark photons from pions produced in ultraperipheral PbPb collisions

In this letter we propose the search of dark photons in the decay of pions produced by γγ interactions in ultraperipheral PbPb collisions. The cross section is estimated considering an accurate treatment for the absorptive corrections and for the nuclear form factor. Predictions for the event rates...
