We demonstrate that the azimuthal dependence of central meson production in hadronic collisions, when suitably binned, provides unambiguous tests of whether the Pomeron couples like a conserved vector-current to protons. We discuss the possibility of discriminating between q-qbar and glueball production in such processes. Our predictions apply also to meson production in tagged two-photon events at electron--positron colliders and to vector-meson production in ep collisions at HERA.

Central exclusive production of $\eta$ and $\eta'$ mesons in diffractive proton-proton collisions at the LHC within the tensor-pomeron approach
hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

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.
