Two-gluon exchange contribution to elastic γγ→γγ scattering and production of two-photons in ultraperipheral ultrarelativistic heavy ion and proton–proton collisions

We discuss the two-gluon exchange contribution (formally three-loops) to elastic photon–photon scattering in the high-energy approximation. The elastic γγ→γγ amplitude is given in the impact-factor representation for all helicity configurations and finite quark masses. We discuss the importance of i...
