It is advocated that geometry of the interaction region of two heavy nuclei colliding at large impact parameters is important for the relative role of light-by-light scattering and QCD-initiated processes. Exclusive production of resonances is possible by dense electromagnetic fields in the interior space between the nuclei. The cross-section of the two-photon processes is evaluated and some examples are considered. It is speculated that the exclusive production of [Formula: see text]-mesons by “two-photon” processes forbidden by the Landau–Yang rule may be allowed within strong magnetic fields due to odd number of photons becoming involved.
