What do we call Exclusive Diffraction / γ exchange events? 2 γ γ Left diagram: Double Pomeron Exchange: some energy is lost in Pomeron remnanats Next three diagrams: Exclusive roduction: the full energy is used to roduce dijets, vector mesons, no energy loss Dijet roduction via gluon exchange, QCD rocess (KMR) Photon exchange Vector meson roduction Possibility to reconstruct the roerties of the object roduced exclusively (via hoton and gluon exchanges) from the tagged roton: system comletely constrained Central exclusive roduction is a otential channel for BSM hysics: sensitivity to high masses u to 1.8 TeV
Measurement of central exclusive roduction in LHCb 3 Measurement of exclusive roduction of J/Ψ vector meson as an examle: Sensitivity to gluon distribution in Pomeron Signal: Central system with raidity gas Background: Diffractive rocesses (omeron remnants not detected, outside detector accetance) Exerimental issue: Detection of raidity gas New detectors in Run II: HERSCHEL, High Raidity Shower Counters for LHCb that allow a better suression of diffractive rocesses (detection of Pomeron remnants)
