Abstract

We review the signal, and the $b\bar{b}$ background, for Higgs production by the exclusive double-diffractive process, $pp \to p+H+p$ , and its subsequent $H \to b\bar{b}$ decay, at the LHC. We discuss the production of Higgs bosons in both the SM and MSSM. We show how the predicted rates may be checked at the Tevatron by observing the exclusive double-diffractiveproduction of dijets, or $\chi_c$ or $\chi_b$ mesons, or $\gamma \gamma$ pairs.
