| contents | Light-by-light (LbL) scattering is one of the earliest predictions of quantum electrodynamics (QED). Interest in this process has been renewed following its experimental observation at the LHC and the prospects of future measurements at free-electron laser facilities. In this paper, we refine theoretical predictions for LbL scattering by improving the full fermion-mass-dependent two-loop QCD and QED helicity amplitudes using high- and low-energy asymptotic expansions, and by performing Coulomb resummation in the threshold region. We present state-of-the-art predictions for LbL cross sections in the Standard Model and provide a new event generator, LbLatNLO, for Monte Carlo simulations of LbL scattering. |
