Vertically stacked heterostructures of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) offer a versatile platform to study electronic and excitonic many-body effects. In particular, interactions between interlayer excitons are key to understand both non-linear optical and transport phenomena in these systems. Here, we address this topic in a joint experiment-theory study by considering spectrally narrow interlayer excitons in the moiré free limit of atomically reconstructed, hBN-encapsulated MoSe2/WSe2 heterobilayers. While classical dipolar repulsion is broadly assumed to determine exciton-exciton scattering, we demonstrate a major role of additional many-body effects including exchange interaction and dynamic screening. Identified by theory, these contribution compensate dipolar term, accounting for the observed spectral shifts of the interlayer excitons of only a few meV even for high injection densities close to the Mott transition threshold. Our findings challenge the traditional picture of the dipolar repulsion in van der Waals heterostructures, highlighting the major role of exchange and screening for the exciton-exciton interactions.
