In this paper we present the measurement of the integrated and differential production cross sections of pairs of prompt isolated photons in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the Compact Muon Sollenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD (pQCD) prediction was compared to the measurement, which was performed on a sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 inverse picobarn. While the agreement on integrated cross sections is satisfactory, a discrepancy is observed in the region of the phase space populated by photons with small relative angle, where the theoretical prediction underestimates the measured cross section.
