A consistent description of exclusive photoproduction of mesons at high momentum transfer t relies on a few effective degrees of freedom which can be checked against Lattice calculation or more effective models of QCD.
The Collider Detector at Fermilab, CDF, observed for the first time in hadron-hadron collisions photon-photon to e+e- and mu+mu-, photon-pomeron to J/psi and psi(2S), and pomeron-pomeron to photon+photon and to chi_c. Exclusive pi+pi-…

We report on the first measurement of the Central Exclusive Production process in proton-proton collisions: $pp \ \rightarrow \ p h^+ h^- p$ (where $h = \pi, K, p$) at the center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 510$ GeV with the STAR experiment…
Although the top quark has been discovered in 1995 and studied extensively by the Tevatron experiments, the top quark will remain special for years to come due to unique opportunities it offers. Because of the large top-antitop production…
TGD predicts the existence of color octet excitations of ordinary leptons forming 'leptohadrons' as their color singlet bound states. There is some evidence on the existence of leptohadrons: the production of anomalous $e^+e^-$ pairs in…
