The data were recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb(-1). Events with two photons in the wellinstrumented region of the detector are selected. The photons are required to be isolated and have a transverse momentum of p(T,gamma 1(2)) > 40 (30) GeV for the leading (sub-leading) photon. The differential cross sections as functions of several observables for the diphoton system are measured and compared with theoretical predictions from state-of-the-art Monte Carlo and fixed-order calculations. The QCD predictions from next-to-next-to-leadingorder calculations and multi-leg merged calculations are able to describe the measured integrated and differential cross sections within uncertainties, whereas lower-order calculations show significant deviations, demonstrating that higher-order perturbative QCD corrections are crucial for this process. The resummed predictions with parton showers additionally provide an excellent description of the low transverse-momentum regime of the diphoton system.", optnote="WOS:000728326100001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5054), last updated on Wed, 29 Dec 2021 23:03:06 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP11(2021)169", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.09330", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP11(2021)169", language="English" }
