abstract = {Results of a measurement of dimuon photoproduction in
nonultraperipheral Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s}_{NN}$ =
5.02 TeV are presented. The measurement uses ATLAS data from
the 2015 and 2018 Pb+Pb data-taking periods at the LHC with
an integrated luminosity of 1.94 nb$^{−1}$. The $γγ →
μ^+μ^−$ pairs are identified via selections on pair
momentum asymmetry and acoplanarity. Differential cross
sections for dimuon production are measured in different
centrality, average muon momentum, and pair rapidity
intervals as functions of acoplanarity and $k_⊥$, the
transverse momentum kick of one muon relative to the other.
Measurements are also made as a function of the rapidity
separation of the muons and the angle of the muon pair
relative to the second-order event plane to test whether
magnetic fields generated in the quark-gluon plasma affect
the measured muons. A prior observation of a
centrality-dependent broadening of the acoplanarity
distribution is confirmed. Furthermore, the improved
precision of the measurement reveals a depletion in the
number of pairs having small acoplanarity or $k_⊥$ values
in more central collisions. The acoplanarity distributions
in a given centrality interval are observed to vary with the
mean $p_T$ of the muons in the pair, but the $k_⊥$
distributions do not. Comparisons with recent theoretical
predictions are made. The predicted trends associated with
effects of magnetic fields on the dimuons are not observed.},
