In these proceedings we summarise the processes generated, before discussing in more detail those due to photon--photon collisions, paying special attention to the correct treatment of the survival factor. We briefly consider the light-by-light scattering process as an example, before discussing planned extensions and refinements for the generator. </section> </div> <div class="entry_details"> <div class="item cover_image"> <div class="sub_item"> <a href="https://e-publishing.cern.ch/index.php/CP/issue/view/49"> <img src="https://e-publishing.cern.ch/public/journals/8/cover_issue_49_en_US.png" alt=""> </a> </div> </div> <div class="item galleys"> <h2 class="pkp_screen_reader"> Downloads </h2> <ul class="value galleys_links"> <li> <a class="obj_galley_link pdf" href="https://e-publishing.cern.ch/index.php/CP/article/view/564/pdf"> PDF </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="item published"> <section class="sub_item"> <h2 class="label"> Published </h2> <div class="value"> <span>2018-12-20</span> </div> </section> </div> <div class="item issue"> <section class="sub_item"> <h2 class="label"> Issue </h2> <div class="value"> <a class="title" href="https://e-publishing.cern.ch/index.php/CP/issue/view/49"> Vol. 1 (2018): Proceedings of the PHOTON'17 Conference </a> </div> </section> <section class="sub_item"> <h2 class="label"> Section </h2> <div class="value"> Photon-photon collisions at hadron colliders </div> </section> </div> <div class="item copyright"> <h2 class="label"> License </h2> Authors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:<ol type="a"><li><strong>Authors retain copyright</strong> and grant the journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">Creative Commons Attribution License CC-BY-4.0</a> (link to external page) that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and initial publication in this journal.</li><li>Authors are able to enter into separate, additional contractual arrangements for the non-exclusive distribution of the journal's published version of the work (e.g., post it to an institutional repository or publish it in a book), with an acknowledgement of its initial publication in this journal.</li><li>Authors are permitted and encouraged to post their work online (e.g., in institutional repositories or on their website) prior to and during the submission process, as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work (See <a href="http://opcit.eprints.org/oacitation-biblio.html" target="_new">The Effect of Open Access</a>).</li></ol> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> <div class="pkp_structure_footer_wrapper" role="contentinfo"> <a id="pkp_content_footer"></a> <div class="pkp_structure_footer"> <div class="pkp_brand_footer" role="complementary"> <a href="https://e-publishing.cern.ch/index.php/CP/about/aboutThisPublishingSystem"> <img alt="More information about the publishing system, Platform and Workflow by OJS/PKP." src="https://e-publishing.cern.ch/templates/images/ojs_brand.png"> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script src="https://e-publishing.cern.ch/lib/pkp/lib/vendor/components/jquery/jquery.min.js?v=3.3.0.16" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="https://e-publishing.cern.ch/lib/pkp/lib/vendor/components/jqueryui/jquery-ui.min.js?v=3.3.0.16" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="https://e-publishing.cern.ch/plugins/themes/default/js/lib/popper/popper.js?v=3.3.0.16" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="https://e-publishing.cern.ch/plugins/themes/default/js/lib/bootstrap/util.js?v=3.3.0.16" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="https://e-publishing.cern.ch/plugins/themes/default/js/lib/bootstrap/dropdown.js?v=3.3.0.16" type="text/javascript"></script><script src="https://e-publishing.cern.ch/plugins/themes/default/js/main.js?v=3.3.0.16" type="text/javascript"></script> </body> </html>
