5. 5 Forcing two camels to go through the eye of a needle High price to pay for such a clean exclusive environment : σ H (CEP) ~ 10 -4  σ H ( inclus. ) R apidity Gaps should survive hostile hadronic radiation damages and ‘ partonic pile-up ‘ symbolically W = S² T² Colour charges of the ‘digluon dipole’ are screened only at r d ≥ 1/ (Qt) ch GAP Keepers (Survival Factors), protecting RG against:  the debris of QCD radiation with 1/Qt≥ ≥ 1/M (T)  soft rescattering effects (necessitated by unitariy) (S) H P P How would you explain this to your (grand) children ?

17. 17 PT expectations if no proton tagging Violation of -momentum transfer through the ‘digluon Pomeron’ In the low mass region: is small. Non-relativistic effects for spin 2. Non-PT contribution ( for spin 1, still ~ ). Fluctuations in hadronization KKMRZ-2010. Spin-2 quarkonium suppression is easier to violate! for CEP (KMRS-04) ppY+X+Z

18. 18 Very topical for STAR@RHIC forthcoming measurements with tagged forward protons. KKMR-03 Hopefully, LHCb one day if/when RPs are installed.

34. 34 Towards Full Acceptance Detector (bj- 1992) (FSC at least a good foot in the door) IS THERE A WAY OUT ? Yes, an addition of Forward Shower Counters around beam pipes- low PU runs first results of combined CMS+ TOTEM measurements with the FSCs on (see showers from particles with | | = 7-9) ( Alice is installing such counters, ongoing studies for LHCb)

40. 40 An installation of the FSCs and RPs at the LHCb could strongly enhance physics potential for the CEP measurements. Currently active studies are in progress, both on the experimental and theory sides.
