We discuss production of pp pairs in two-photon interactions in heavyion collisions. We present predictions for the ultraperipheral, ultrarelativistic, heavy-ion collisions (UPC) 208 P b 208 P b → 208 P b 208 P b pp. The parameters of vertex form factors are adjusted to the Belle data for the γγ → pp reaction. To described the Belle data we include the proton-exchange, the f 2 (1270) and f 2 (1950) s-channel exchanges, as well as the hand-bag mechanism. Then, the total cross section and several differential distributions for experimental cuts corresponding to the LHC experiments are presented. The distribution in y dif f , the rapidity distance between the proton and antiproton, is particularly interesting. We find the total cross sections: 100 µb for the ALICE cuts, 160 µb for the ATLAS cuts, 500 µb for the CMS cuts, and 104 µb taking into account the LHCb cuts. This opens a possibility to study the γγ → pp process in UPC at the LHC.
