Search for noncommutative interactions in $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow\gamma\gamma$ process at the LHC

The noncommutative QED (NCQED) has a non-Abelian nature due to the presence of 3- and 4-photon vertices in the lagrangian. Thus, NCQED predicts a new physics contribution to the $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow\gamma\gamma$ scattering already at the tree level. We have examined NCQED by studying the light-by-light process at the 14 TeV LHC with intact protons. Our results show that the NC scale up to $\Lambda_{\mathrm{NC}} = 1.65(1.35)$ TeV can be probed in the $pp\rightarrow p(\gamma\gamma)p \rightarrow p'(\gamma\gamma)p'$ collision for the time-space (space-space) NC parameters. These bounds are stronger than the limits that can be obtained in the light-by-light scattering at high energy linear colliders.Comment: 26 pages, 5 figures.
