Insight into Double-Pomeron-Exchange Higgs production and backgrounds
arXiv:hep-ph/0702213 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2007.04.060
Abstract
We quantify the central inclusive background contributions to exclusive Higgs production at the LHC arising from double-Pomeron-exchange processes. We consider the H --> bb(bar) signal. We study processes mediated by the fusion of two `hard' Pomerons, and also by the fusion of `soft' Pomerons. The latter background is found to be very small, and the former is found to be less than the exclusive signal.
