Physics with forward protons at hadron colliders

Abstract

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 important role in identifying a 'light' Higgs boson.
