Insight into new physics with tagged forward protons at the LHC

Khoze, V.A.; Ryskin, M.G.; Martin, A.D.

Abstract

The addition of forward proton detectors to LHC experiments will significantly enlarge the potential for studying New Physics. A topical example is Higgs production by the central exclusive diffractive process, pp -> p+H+p. We discuss the exclusive production of Higgs bosons in both the SM and MSSM. Special attention is paid to the backgrounds to the H -> bbbar signal.
