no emission when (l ~ 1/kt) > (d ~ 1/Qt) i.e. only emission withkt > Qt
calculated using detailed 2-channel eikonal global analysis of soft pp data S2 = 0.026 at LHC S2 = 0.05 at Tevatron Lonnblad Monte Carlo S2 = 0.026 S2 = 0.040 MH=120GeV

more peripheral p1T,p2T correlations reflect spin-parity of central system: can distinguish 0- from 0+ pp p1 + H + p2
decoupling regime: mA ~ mH large h = SM intense coup: mh ~ mA ~ mH gg,WW.. coup. suppressed
SM: pp p + (Hbb) + p S/B~11/4 with DM = 1 GeV, at LHC with 30 fb-1 e.g. mA = 130 GeV, tan b = 50 (difficult for conventional detection, but exclusive diffractive favourable) S B mh = 124.4 GeV 71 3 events mH = 135.5 GeV 124 2 mA = 130 GeV 1 2 enhancement

Conclusions Proton tagging is a valuable weapon in LHC Higgs physics pp p + H + p: S/B~3, DMmiss~1GeV, Mmiss = Mbb SUSY Higgs: unique signals in certain domains of MSSM tan b large (i) mh~mH~mA (s enhanced), (ii) mA large Exclusive double diff. prod. strongly favours 0+ Azimuthal correlations are valuable spin-parity analyzer Distinguish 0- from 0+ Higgs Large rate for diffractive c production: probes low x, low Q2 gluons pQCD ? probes dynamics -- potential spin-parity (quantum no.) analyzer
