contents Central exclusive diffractive production in proton-proton collisions at hadron colliders is characterised by hadronic activity at or close to midrapidity, and by the two forward scattered protons, or their remnants. In such events, no particles are produced between the midrapidity system and the forward beam particles. These events can hence be identified with appropriately placed detectors for measuring the forward scattered protons, or their remnants, and a detector system covering the midrapidity range. At the energies of the LHC, central diffractive production in proton-proton collisions is dominated by pomeron-pomeron fusion. The description of the pomeron within the Regge approach is summarized, and the feasibility of identifying pseudoscalar mesons $η,η'$ in pomeron-pomeron fusion is studied for determining the spin structure of the pomeron.
