Abstract

The cross section for exclusive π+π- and π0π0 meson pairs production in peripheral ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is calculated at the energy available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, i.e., √sNN=3.5 TeV. The cross section for elementary γγ→ππ process is calculated with the help of the pQCD Brodsky-Lepage approach with the distribution amplitude used recently to describe the pion transition form factor measured by the BaBar Collaboration.
