# ExDiff Monte Carlo generator for Exclusive Diffraction. Version 1.0. Physics and manual

## TL;DR

ExDiff is a Monte Carlo event generator designed to simulate exclusive diffractive processes in proton-proton collisions, currently supporting elastic scattering and specific resonance production at various energies, with plans to expand its capabilities.

## Contribution

This paper introduces ExDiff, a new Monte Carlo generator tailored for exclusive diffraction, including detailed implementation of elastic and resonance production processes in proton-proton collisions.

## Key findings

- Successfully simulates elastic scattering at multiple energies
- Models production of specific resonances like f0(1710) and f2(1950)
- Provides a foundation for future expansion of diffractive process simulations

## Abstract

ExDiff is a Monte Carlo event generator for simulation of Exclusive Diffractive processes in proton-proton collisions. The present version includes reactions: elastic scattering $pp\to pp$ at 7, 8, 13, 14~TeV; $pp\to p+R+p$, $R = f_0(1710),\, f_2(1950)$ at 13~TeV. In the future versions many processes of Central Exclusive Diffractive Production will be added.
