abstract = {Exclusive production of dielectron pairs,
$\gamma\gamma\rightarrow e^+e^-$, is studied using
$\mathcal{L}_\mathrm{int}=1.72\; \mathrm{nb^{-1}}$ of data
from ultraperipheral collisions of lead nuclei at
$\sqrt{s_{_{\text{NN}}}} = 5.02$ TeV recorded by the ATLAS
detector at the LHC. The process of interest proceeds via
photon-photon interaction in the strong electromagnetic
fields of relativistic lead nuclei. Dielectron production is
measured in the fiducial region defined by following
requirements: electron transverse momentum,
$p_{\textrm{T}}^{e} > 2.5$ GeV, absolute electron
pseudorapidity, $|\eta^{e}| < 2.5$, invariant mass of the
dielectron system, $m_{ee} > 5$ GeV, and transverse momentum
of the dielecton pair, $p_{\textrm{T}}^{ee} < 2$ GeV.
Differential cross-sections are measured as a function of
$m_{ee}$, average $p_{\textrm{T}}^{e}$, absolute rapidity of
the dielectron system, $|y_{ee}|$, and scattering angle in
the dielectron rest frame, $|\cos\theta^*|$ in the inclusive
sample, and also under the requirement of no activity in the
forward direction. The total integrated fiducial
cross-section is measured to be $215 \pm 1 \text{(stat.)}
^{+23}_{-20} \text{(syst.)} \pm 4 \text{(lumi.)}\; \mu$b.
Within experimental uncertainties the measured integrated
cross-section is in good agreement with the QED predictions
from the Monte Carlo programs Starlight and SuperChic,
confirming the broad features of the initial photon fluxes.
The differential cross-sections show systematic differences
with these predictions which are more pronounced at high
$|y_{ee}|$ and $|\cos\theta^*|$ values.},
