abstract
The case of the low invariant mass exclusive central diffractive production is considered in the general theoretical framework. It is shown that diffractive patterns (differential cross-sections on variables like transfer momenta squared, the azimuthal angle between final hadrons and their combinations) can serve as a unique tool to explore the picture of the $pp$ interaction and falsify theoretical models. Basic kinematical and dynamical properties of the process are considered in detail. As an example, visualizations of diffractive patterns in the model with three pomerons for processes $p+p\to p+R+p$ and $p+p\to p+\pi^{+}\pi^{-}+p$ are presented.

Central exclusive production of $\eta$ and $\eta'$ mesons in diffractive proton-proton collisions at the LHC within the tensor-pomeron approach
The tensor-pomeron model predicts 0.3 to 0.7 microbarn cross sections for central eta-prime production at the LHC, and shows that scalar-pomeron models forbid eta, eta-prime, and f1 production entirely.
