Feasibility studies of an observation of the exclusive diffractive bremsstrahlung in proton–proton scattering at the centre of mass energy 13 TeV at the LHC are reported. These studies aim at the dedicated data taking periods with low instantaneous luminosity delivered by the LHC where the pile-up interactions can be neglected. A simplified approach to the photon and the scattered proton energy reconstruction is used. The background influence is discussed.
