Forward-proton-tagged photon-induced production of a leptophobic Z' mediator would exclude mZ' below about 1.4 TeV at 14 TeV and 3000 fb^-1, with a dark matter mass bound near 550 GeV for the vector benchmark.

abstract
The detection of pairs of sleptons, charginos and charged higgs bosons produced via photon-photon fusion at the LHC is studied, assuming a couple of benchmark points of the MSSM model. Due to low cross sections, it requires large integrated luminosity, but thanks to the striking signature of these exclusive processes the backgrounds are low, and are well known. Very forward proton detectors can be used to measure the photon energies, allowing for direct determination of masses of the lightest SUSY particle, of selectrons and smuons with a few GeV resolution. Finally, the detection and mass measurement of quasi-stable particles predicted by the so-called sweet spot supersymmetry is discussed.
