abstract = {This paper describes a measurement of light-by-light
scattering based on Pb+Pb collision data recorded by the
ATLAS experiment during Run 2 of the LHC. The study uses 2.2
nb$^{−1}$ of integrated luminosity collected in 2015 and
2018 at $ \sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} $ = 5.02 TeV.
Light-by-light scattering candidates are selected in events
with two photons produced exclusively, each with transverse
energy $ {E}_{\mathrm{T}}^{\gamma } $> 2.5 GeV,
pseudorapidity |η$_{γ}$| < 2.37, diphoton invariant mass
m$_{γγ}$> 5 GeV, and with small diphoton transverse
momentum and diphoton acoplanarity. The integrated and
differential fiducial cross sections are measured and
compared with theoretical predictions. The diphoton
invariant mass distribution is used to set limits on the
production of axion-like particles. This result provides the
most stringent limits to date on axion-like particle
production for masses in the range 6–100 GeV. Cross
sections above 2 to 70 nb are excluded at the 95\% CL in
that mass interval.[graphic not available: see fulltext]},
