Abstract: (arXiv)
We consider the central exclusive production of pairs and Higgs boson at proton-proton collisions at LHC. The amplitude for the process is derived within the -factorization approach and considered in different kinematical asymptotics, in particular, in the important high quark transverse momenta and massless quark limits. Quark helicity and spin-projection amplitudes in two different frames are shown in extenso. Rapidity distributions, quark jet distributions, invariant mass distributions, angular azimuthal correlations between outgoing protons and jets are presented. Irreducible background to the central exclusive Higgs boson production is analyzed in detail, in particular how to impose cut to maximize signal-to-background ratio.- 14.65.Dw
