description <!--HTML--><p>Abstract: Photon fusion is a rare and interesting process at proton and ion colliders, involving&nbsp;purely electroweak interactions and allowing precision tests of the gauge structure of the&nbsp;Standard Model. Experimentally it has a remarkably clean signature with little (if any) remnant&nbsp;activity from the interacting beam particles, although this signature is very difficult to identify in the harsh experimental conditions at the LHC.&nbsp;In this seminar, recent&nbsp;ATLAS&nbsp;photon fusion&nbsp;results&nbsp;are&nbsp;presented: the observation of&nbsp;photo-produced&nbsp;weak-boson pair-production,&nbsp;cross-section&nbsp;measurement&nbsp;of&nbsp;lepton pair production&nbsp;with proton tagging in the&nbsp;ATLAS Forward Proton Spectrometer, and&nbsp;studies&nbsp;of light-by-light scattering.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
