Diffractive Higgs production at the lhc via qq in proton

• Diffractive Higgs production at the LHC via QQ in proton

• May provide a clear signal for Higgs production due to small background

• How can high-xF intrinsic heavy flavor happen?

• Not from Gluon Splitting (extrinsic heavy flavor)
• Heavy quarks are expected to be multi-connected to the valence quarks within a proton and appear at large x via…
