We calculated the production of the Higgs boson (H) by two-photon interaction with the equivalent photon approximation in nucleus-nucleus collision, proton-nucleus collision, and proton-proton collision. The numerical results show that the…
Improved possibilities to find the Higgs boson in diffractive events, having less hadronic activity, depend on whether the cross section is large enough. Based on the soft color interaction models that successfully describe diffractive hard…
Double diffractive Higgs production at $pp$ (or $\bar{p}p$) colliders continues to attract attention as a potential signal in the search for the boson. We present improved perturbative QCD estimates of the event rates for both the exclusive…
The holographic approach to double diffractive Higgs production is presented in terms of exchanging the AdS graviton/Pomeron. The goal is to provide a simple framework for central exclusive production from a dual strong coupling…
We summarize the possible processes which may be used to search for a Higgs boson, of mass in the range 114-130 GeV, at the LHC. We discuss, in detail, two processes with rapidity gaps: exclusive Higgs production with tagged outgoing…
The addition of forward proton detectors to LHC experiments will significantly enlarge the potential for studying New Physics. A topical example is Higgs production by the central exclusive diffractive process, pp -> p+H+p. We discuss the…
This note describes the details of a simulation study of the Higgs boson production for processes in which the Higgs is produced together with a well measurable di-lepton system using the proposal of the ILD detector for its Letter of…
We use the POMWIG Monte Carlo generator to predict the cross-sections for double diffractive higgs and di-photon production at the Tevatron and LHC. We find that the higgs production cross-section is too small to be observable at Tevatron…
The double-diffractive production of chi_c and chi_b mesons, with a rapidity gap on either side, is studied, using both the Regge formalism and the perturbative QCD approach. Due to the rather low scale, the exclusive double-diffractive…
We present a calculation of the fully differential cross section for Higgs boson production in the gluon fusion channel through next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. We apply the method introduced in \cite{Anastasiou:2003gr} to…
In this paper, we study the single top production in association with a Higgs boson in the $U(1)_{B-L}$ extension of the Standard Model at the LHC. We calculate the production cross sections of the processes $pp\rightarrow…
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…
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…
The theoretical status of Higgs boson production at the LHC within the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model is reviewed. The focus will be on the evaluation of higher-order corrections to the production cross sections and…
