This Letter reports a measurement of the exclusive γγ→ℓ\(^{+}\)ℓ\(^{−}\) (ℓ=e, μℓ=e, μ) cross-section in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, based on an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb\(^{−1}\). For the electron or muon pairs satisfying exclusive selection criteria, a fit to the dilepton acoplanarity distribution is used to extract the fiducial cross-sections. The cross-section in the electron channel is determined to be \(^{excl.}_{γγ→e^{+}e^{-}}\)=0.428 ± 0.035 (stat.) ± 0.018 (syst.) pb for a phase–space region with invariant mass of the electron pairs greater than 24 GeV, in which both electrons have transverse momentum p\(_{T}\)>12 GeV and pseudorapidity |η|<2.4. For muon pairs with invariant mass greater than 20 GeV, muon transverse momentum p\(_{T}\)>10 GeV and pseudorapidity |η|<2.4, the cross-section is determined to be \(^{excl.}_{γγ→μ^{+}μ^{-}}\) =0.628 ± 0.032 (stat.) ± 0.021 (syst.) pb. When proton absorptive effects due to the finite size of the proton are taken into account in the theory calculation, the measured cross-sections are found to be consistent with the theory prediction.
