Search for central exclusive production of top quark pairs in proton-proton collisions at s= 13 TeV with tagged protons
Abstract: A search for the central exclusive production of top quark pairs (tˉt) is performed using proton-tagged events in proton-proton collisions at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 29.4 fb1. The tˉt decay products are reconstructed using the CMS central detector, while forward protons are detected with the CMS-TOTEM Precision Proton Spectrometer. An upper bound on the production cross section of 0.59\ pb is set at 95% confidence level.
