چکیده

We have searched for exclusive gammagamma production in proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV, using 532 pb(-1) of integrated luminosity taken by the run II Collider Detector at Fermilab. The event signature requires two electromagnetic showers, each with transverse energy E(T)>5 GeV and pseudorapidity |eta|<1.0, with no other particles detected in the event. Three candidate events are observed. We discuss the consistency of the three events with gammagamma, pi(0)pi(0), or eta eta production. The probability that other processes fluctuate to >or=3 events is 1.7x10(-4). An upper limit on the cross section of pp-->p + gammagamma + p production is set at 410 fb with 95% confidence level.

Central exclusive diffractive Higgs boson production in hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at the LHC

In this paper, it is shown that in hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions, the main source for central exclusive diffractive Higgs production is photon-photon fusion. At the LHC energy, the total cross section for this process is about 0.6 pb (for proton-gold scattering), and 3.9 nb (for gold-gold collision) while the gluon-gluon fusion leads to the value of the cross section for CED Hig...

Probing GPDs in Ultraperipheral Collisions

Ultraperipheral collisions in hadron colliders give new opportunites to investigate the hadron stucture through exclusive photoproduction processes. We describe the possibility of measuring the Generalized Parton Distributions in the Timelike Compton Scattering process and in the production of heavy vector meson.

Observation of Exclusive Di-Photon Production in Hadron-Hadron Collisions

We present the first observation and cross section measurement of exclusive photon pair production in proton-antiproton collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV taken by the Run II Collider Detector at Fer-milab. We select events with two electromagnetic showers, each with transverse energy E T > 2.5 GeV and pseudorapidity |η| < 1.0, with no other particles detected in −7.4 < η < +7.4. The two showers have...

We report recently published results on central exclusive production of di-jets and di-photons, and exclusive QED production of ee pairs. In addition, we discuss preliminary results on exclusive photoproduction of charmonium and bottomonium, exclusive QED production of μμ pairs, and single diffractive W/Z production. All the presented results were extracted from data collected by the CDF II det...
