Description
I will review recent progress in exclusive production of mesons and
dileptons in proton-proton collisions.
This includes exclusive production of J/psi, psi' and rho^0 mesons as
well as production of two pions, two leptons, two photons or two
charged Higgs bosons.
In the case of the charmonia a k_t-factorization method with
unintegrated gluon distributions is applied. A possible sign of the
onset of saturation will be given. The charmonium wave function
effects will be discussed.
In the case of rho^0 and pi^+ pi^- production we apply a model of
tensor pomeron, a new concept being actively developed and tested in
recent 2 years, to the production of continuum and resonances. A
discussion of processes with electromagnetic dissociation (large
rapidity gap) will be discussed as an example for dilepton production.
Exclusive production of two charged Higgs boson will be discussed in
the context of searches for these exotic objects at the LHC and FCC.
