Motivated by the recent experimental observation of exclusive χc events at the Tevatron, we revisit earlier studies of central exclusive scalar χc0 meson production, before generalising the existing formalism to include χc1 and χc2 mesons. Although χ... Read More about Central exclusive chi(c) meson production at the Tevatron revisited..

Rapidity gap survival probability and total cross sections. (2009)
Conference Proceeding

We discuss recent calculations of the survival probability of the large rapidity gaps in exclusive processes of the type pp → p + A + p at high energies. Absorptive or screening effects are important, and one consequence is that the total cross secti... Read More about Rapidity gap survival probability and total cross sections..

We give a brief overview of the topics covered in the working group on diffraction.

Checking formalism for central exclusive production in the first LHC runs. (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Martin, A., Khoze, V., & Ryskin, M. (2009). Checking formalism for central exclusive production in the first LHC runs. In H. Jung, & A. De Roeck (Eds.), Proceedings of the workshop HERA and the LHC: 2nd workshop on the implications of HERA for LHC physics, 2006 - 2008, Hamburg - Geneva (482-487)

We discuss how the early LHC data runs can provide crucial tests of the formalism used to predict the cross sections of central exclusive production.

Diffractive processes at the LHC. (2009)
Conference Proceeding

Soffer (Eds.), Diffraction 2008: International Workshop on Diffraction in High Energy Physics, La Londe-les-Maures, France, 9-14 September 2008 (252-257). https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3122187

We present a model of high energy soft pp interactions that has multi s‐ and t‐channel components, which has been tuned to describe all the available data. The t‐channel components allow matching of the soft to the hard (QCD) Pomeron. Absorptive effe... Read More about Diffractive processes at the LHC..

We emphasise the sizeable effects of absorption on high-energy ‘soft’ processes, and, hence, the necessity to include multi-pomeron–pomeron interactions in the usual multi-channel eikonal description. We present a model which includes a complete set... Read More about Soft processes at the LHC. I. Multi-component model..
