Abstract
Central Exclusive Production (CEP) is a unique process at hadron machines in which particles are produced via colourless propagators. LHCb have measured the cross-sections for the CEP of vector mesons, and , which are photo-produced. In the double pomeron exchange process, preliminary measurements have been made of meson production while the first observations of the CEP of pairs of charmonia, and , have been made and limits obtained on the pair production of other charmonia.
