Abstract
We discuss exclusive double diffractive (EDD) production of Higgs boson and heavy quark—heavy antiquark pairs at high energies. Differential distributions for cc̄ at s = 1.96 GeV and for bb̄ at s = 14 TeV are shown and discussed. Irreducible leading‐order bb̄ background to Higgs production is calculated in several kinematical variables. The signal‐to‐background ratio is shown and several improvements are suggested by imposing cuts on b (b̄) transverse momenta and rapidities.
