We show that the use of forward proton detectors at the LHC installed at 220 m and 420 m distance around ATLAS and / or CMS can provide important information on the Higgs sector of the MSSM. We analyse central exclusive production of the…
We explore the production and possible detection of a charged scalar Higgs pair $H^-H^+$ decaying into the final state $\mu\nu_{\mu}cb$ in proton-proton collisions at the LHC and its next step, the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). The charged…
The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) is expected to deliver an integrated luminosity of up to 3000 fb$^{-1}$. The very high instantaneous luminosity will lead to about 200 proton-proton collisions per bunch crossing (pileup)…
We emphasize the importance of tagging the outgoing forward protons to sharpen the predictions for New Physics at the LHC. We show that exclusive double-diffractive Higgs production, pp-->p+H+p, followed by the H-->bb decay, could play an…
