Acoplanarity of Lepton Pair to Probe the Electromagnetic Property of Quark Matter

We investigate the -broadening effects in dilepton production through photon-photon scattering in heavy ion collisions. The QED multiple interaction effects with the medium is found to be consistent with a recent observation of low transverse momentum lepton pair from ATLAS collaboration at the LHC. We further comment on the magnetic effects and point out a number of ways to disentangle these two mechanisms. In particular, the rapidity dependence of the -broadening effects provide a unique probe to the magnetic effects.
