Abstract

Exclusive and diffractive physics measurements are important for the better understanding of the non-perturbative regime of QCD. Two recent results of the CMS experiment is presented in this paper. The total and differential cross sections of central exclusive π+π\pi^+\pi^- production are measured at 5.02 and 13 TeV in the pT(π)>0.2 p_{\mathrm{T}}(\pi) > 0.2~GeV/cc and η(π)<2.4|\eta(\pi)| < 2.4 kinematic region. The invariant mass distribution is fitted by the sum of a continuum and four interfering relativistic Breit-Wigner functions. In the second part of the paper the measurement of the single diffractive dijets is presented, which are studied by using proton tagging capabilities of the TOTEM analysis. A joint CMS-TOTEM study is carried out and the total and differential cross sections are measured in the 0.03<t<1.0 0.03 < |t| < 1.0~GeV2^2 and 0<ξ<0.10 < \xi < 0.1 kinematic region.
