Selected new results in central exclusive production (CEP) processes within the pQCD-based Durham model are discussed. Topics covered include the CEP of SM and BSM Higgs-like particles, meson pair CEP and the gap survival probability.
Calculations of central exclusive production are affected by very large perturbative and non-perturbative corrections. In this talk, we summarize the results of a study of the uncertainties on these corrections in the case of exclusive…
Central exclusive production (CEP) processes in high-energy hadron-hadron collisions provide an especially clean environment in which to measure the nature and quantum numbers (in particular, the spin and parity) of new resonance states.…

After a brief resume of the theory underpinning the central exclusive process (CEP) pp \to p+H+p, attention is focussed upon Higgs bosons produced in the Standard Model, the MSSM and the NMSSM. In all cases, CEP adds significantly to the…
I briefly review several mechanisms of central exclusive production of mesons at high energies. Some illustrative examples for the BNL RHIC, FNAL Tevatron and CERN LHC as well as for lower energies are discussed. Some differential…
We discuss how the early LHC data runs can provide crucial tests of the formalism used to predict the cross sections of central exclusive production.
We recall that the exclusive production of high mass objects via \gamma\gamma fusion at the LHC is not strongly suppressed in comparison with inclusive \gamma\gamma fusion. Therefore it may be promising to study new objects produced by the…
