Central exclusive production of K+K− pairs in proton-proton collisions

We discuss central exclusive diffractive production of light mesons in the reactions pp→ppπ+π−$pp \to pp{\pi ^ + }{\pi ^ - }$ and pp→ppK+K−$pp \to pp{K^ + }{K^ - }$. The calculation is based on a tensor-pomeron approach. We include a purely diffractive dipion continuum, and the scalar f0(980), f0(15...
