Resonance production in Pomeron-Pomeron collisions at the LHC
Abstract
A model for Pomeron-Pomeron total cross section in the resonance region M2 5 GeV is presented. This model is based on Regge poles from the Pomeron and two different f trajectories, and includes the isolated f0(500) resonance in the region M2 1 GeV. A slowly varying background is included. The presented Pomeron-Pomeron cross section is not directly measurable, but is an essential ingredient for calculating exclusive resonance production at the LHC.
