Colliding Pomerons (2019)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2019). Colliding Pomerons. Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 46(11), Article 11LT01. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6471/ab3a88

We recall the main properties of inclusive particle distributions expected for Pomeron-proton and Pomeron–Pomeron interactions. Due to the small size of the Pomeron we expect larger transverse momenta of secondaries and a smaller probability of multi... Read More about Colliding Pomerons.

The fusion of hard and soft Pomerons: 3-jet diffractive production (2019)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., Ryskin, M., Shuvaev, A., & Surnin, I. (2019). The fusion of hard and soft Pomerons: 3-jet diffractive production. The European Physical Journal C, 79(7), Article 605. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-019-7120-x

We consider the central exclusive production of high E_T jets pp\rightarrow p+(X+\mathrm{dijet})+p. In particular we study the possible contamination of the purely exclusive signal by semi-exclusive production where no other secondaries are emitted i...

Exclusive vector meson production in heavy ion collisions (2019)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2019). Exclusive vector meson production in heavy ion collisions. Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 46(8), Article 085002. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6471/ab2009

We discuss the salient features of exclusive vector meson production in heavy ion collisions at LHC energies. Special attention is paid to the space-time picture of the process. We account for both coherent and incoherent contributions. The explicit... Read More about Exclusive vector meson production in heavy ion collisions.

LHC searches for Dark Matter in compressed mass scenarios: challenges in the forward proton mode (2019)
Journal Article
Harland-Lang, L., Khoze, V., Ryskin, M., & Tasevsky, M. (2019). LHC searches for Dark Matter in compressed mass scenarios: challenges in the forward proton mode. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019(4), Article 10. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep04%282019%29010

We analyze in detail the LHC prospects at the center-of-mass enery of s√ = 14 TeV for charged electroweakino searches, decaying to leptons, in compressed supersymmetry scenarios, via exclusive photon-initiated pair production. This provides a potenti... Read More about LHC searches for Dark Matter in compressed mass scenarios: challenges in the forward proton mode.

Searching for the odderon in ultraperipheral proton-ion collisions at the LHC (2019)
Journal Article
Harland-Lang, L., Khoze, V., Martin, A., & Ryskin, M. (2019). Searching for the odderon in ultraperipheral proton-ion collisions at the LHC. Physical Review D, 99(3), Article 034011. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.99.034011

We explore the possibility of observing odderon exchange in proton-ion collisions at the LHC, via the ultraperipheral photoproduction of C-even mesons. As well as the signal, we consider in detail the principle backgrounds, due to QCD-initiated produ... Read More about Searching for the odderon in ultraperipheral proton-ion collisions at the LHC.

Exclusive LHC physics with heavy ions: SuperChic 3 (2019)
Journal Article
Harland-Lang, L., Khoze, V., & Ryskin, M. (2019). Exclusive LHC physics with heavy ions: SuperChic 3. The European Physical Journal C, 79(1), Article 39. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-018-6530-5

We present results of the updated SuperChic 3 Monte Carlo event generator for central exclusive production. This extends the previous treatment of proton–proton collisions to include heavy ion (pA and AA) beams, for both photon and QCD-initiated prod...
