Exclusive Diffractive Resonance Production in Proton-Proton Collisions at the LHC

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-12-21 v1

Abstract

A model for exclusive diffractive resonance production in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies is presented. This model is based on the convolution of the Donnachie-Landshoff parameterisation of Pomeron flux in the proton with the Pomeron cross section for resonance production. The hadronic cross section for f0_{0}(980) and f2_{2}(1270) production at midrapidity is given differentially in mass and transverse momentum of the resonance. The proton fractional longitudinal momentum loss is presented.
