Description
The LHC is not only the energy-frontier collider for parton-parton collisions, but it has proven to work as a powerful photon collider providing photon-photon collisions at center-of-mass energies never reached before. I will present results of the gamma-UPC Monte Carlo event generator [1] that can calculate any arbitrary exclusive final states produced via photon fusion in ultraperipheral collisions of protons and/or nuclei at the LHC, of relevance for novel SM measurements. The latest gamma-UPC developments and comparisons to LHC and RHIC data will be presented [2].
