Hard exclusive reactions are the tool to learn about generalized parton distributions, which provide a more complete parametrization of the nucleon than the ordinary parton distribution functions. Recent measurements by the HERMES…
Central exclusive diffractive production in proton-proton collisions at hadron colliders is characterised by hadronic activity at or close to midrapidity, and by the two forward scattered protons, or their remnants. In such events, no…
