Study of central exclusive production in proton-proton collisions at $$sqrt{s} = 5.02$$ s=5.02 and 13TeV
Abstract Central exclusive and semiexclusive production of pairs is measured with the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at the LHC at center-of-mass energies of 5.02 and 13TeV.The theoretical description of these nonperturbative processes, which have not yet been measured in detail at the LHC, poses a significant challenge to models.The two
