V. Khoze et al M. Boonekamp et al. B. Cox et al. … V.Petrov et al. Advantages of Exclusive: bb: We need a L1-trigger of “central CMS+220 RP” type. Central detector is issue as CMS is not designed for low Et physics. Under study by CMS-Totem L1-tr. group WW: Extremely promising for Mh>130 GeV: no trigger problems and a better Mh resolution for higher Mh. (Wˉ) (W+)

8 DPE Higgs event generators 1.DPEMC 2.4 (M.Boonekamp, T.Kucs) - Bialas-Landshof model for Pomeron flux within proton - Rap.gap survival probability = Herwig for hadronization 2. EDDE 1.2 (V.Petrov, R.Ryutin) - Regge-eikonal approach to calculate soft proton vertices - Sudakov factor to suppress radiation into rap.gap - Pythia for hadronization 3. ExHuMe 1.3 (J.Monk, A.Pilkington) - Durham model for exclusive diffraction (pert.calc. by KMR) - Improved unintegrated gluon pdfs - Sudakov factor to suppress radiation into rap.gap + rap.gap survival prob.= Pythia for hadronization All three models available now in the fast CMS simulation!

9 Difference between DPEMC and (EDDE/ExHuMe) is an effect of Sudakov suppression factor growing as the available phase space for gluon emission increases with increasing mass of the central system Models predict different physics potentials !

30 Summary - Recent versions of DPEMC, EDDE and ExHuMe generators as well as new RP acceptances available in CMS fast simulation - Working on optimizing the selection cuts for H->bb and H->WW channels. The H->WW channel looks promising for Mh>130 GeV. Unlike for H->WW, the L1-trigger and background for H->bb are issues and still need a lot of work. A common CMS-TOTEM L1-trigger working group established and studying this problem intensively - Hot topic these days: Which model gives the best description of data??? The problem is that the only data available are those of Rjj distr. from CDF. More to come soon…
