Results and Future Plans on Central Exclusive Production with the LHCb Detector

Abstract

The LHCb detector and LHC running conditions are ideally suited to measuring central exclusive production. Several recent measurements of exclusive dimuon, single and double charmonia are reviewed. The potential for future measurements across a broad range of physics channels is discussed.

Invited contribution to a special edition of the International Journal of Modern Physics A (IJMPA) devoted to Central Exclusive Production in Hadron Collisions
