Diffractive Higgs production: theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the calculation for Higgs production via the exclusive reaction pp → p + H + p. In the first part we review in some detail the calculation of the Durham group and emphasise the main areas of uncertainty. Afterwards, we comment upon other calculations.

Diffractive Higgs boson production at Tevatron and LHC: an experimental review
We discuss the different models of central diffractive production of the Higgs boson at the Tevatron and the LHC. We also describe how the models can be tested using diffractive production data being taken at the Tevatron. We finally discuss the advantages of using diffractive events to reconstruct the mass of the Higgs boson especially at the LHC.
متن کاملElectromagnetic Higgs production
The cross section for central diffractive Higgs production is calculated, for the LHC range of energies. The graphs for the possible mechanisms for Higgs production, through pomeron fusion and photon fusions are calculated for all possibilities allowed by the standard model. The cross section for central diffractive Higgs production through pomeron fusion, must be multiplied by a factor for the...
متن کاملDouble Diffractive Higgs and Di-photon Production at the Tevatron and LHC
We use the POMWIG Monte Carlo generator to predict the cross-sections for double diffractive higgs and di-photon production at the Tevatron and LHC. We find that the higgs production cross-section is too small to be observable at Tevatron energies, and even at the LHC observation would be difficult. Double diffractive di-photon production, however, should be observable within one year of Tevatr...
متن کاملCentral exclusive diffractive production as a spin–parity analyser: from hadrons to Higgs
We present the general rules for double-Reggeon production of objects with different spins and parities. The existing experimental information on resonance production in these central exclusive diffractive processes is discussed. The absorptive corrections are calculated and found to depend strongly on the quantum numbers of the produced states. The central exclusive diffractive production of 0...
متن کاملCan the Higgs be seen in rapidity gap events at the Tevatron or the LHC ?
Double diffractive Higgs production at pp (or p̄p) colliders continues to attract attention as a potential signal in the search for the boson. We present improved perturbative QCD estimates of the event rates for both the exclusive and inclusive double diffractive Higgs processes, paying particular attention to the survival probability of the rapidity gaps. We find that the major uncertainty is ...
