Fixed target experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron

Abstract

This paper presents a review of the study of Exclusive Central Production at a Center of Mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=40$ GeV at the Fermilab Fixed Target program. In all reactions reviewed in this paper, protons with an energy of 800 GeV were extracted from the Tevatron accelerator at Fermilab and directed to a Liquid Hydrogen target. The states reviewed include ${\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}$, $K_s^0{K}_s^0$, $K_s^0{K}^{\pm }{\pi }^{\mp }$, $\varphi \varphi$ and $D^{\ast \pm }$. Partial Wave Analysis results will be presented on the light states but only the cross section will be reviewed in the diffractive production of $D^{\ast \pm }$

17 figures. To be published in Int. J. Mod. Phys. A, as special edition of central exclusive production
