BSM Higgs Physics at the LHC in the Forward Proton Mode

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-09-15 v1

Abstract

We review the prospects for Central Exclusive Diffractive (CED) production of Higgs bosons in the SM with a fourth generation of fermions at the LHC using forward proton detectors installed at 220m and 420m distance around ATLAS and / or CMS. We discuss the determination of Higgs spin-parity and coupling structures at the LHC and show that the forward proton mode would provide a critical information on the CP properties of the Higgs bosons.
