We propose a new variable, R_j, in order to identify exclusive double-diffractive high E_T dijet production. The variable R_j is calculated using the transverse energy E_T and pseudorapidity of the jet with the largest E_T. For a purely…

We study the prospects of observing the non-resonant di-Higgs pair production in the Standard Model (SM) at the high luminosity run of the 14 TeV LHC (HL-LHC), upon combining multiple final states chosen on the basis of their yield and…
We evaluate the non-perturbative contribution to the double-diffractive production of the Higgs boson, which arises due to the QCD scale anomaly if the mass of the Higgs M_H is smaller than the mass of the top quark M_T, M_H < M_T. The…
