Description

The installation of scintillating pad detectors (Herschel), in the LHCb detector along the beamline, have significantly enhanced the LHCb sensitivity to central exclusive production. Additionally, dedicated triggers during the early measurement period of Run 2 produced an extended CEP dataset. A summary of results from Run 1 as well as early results from Run 2 will be shown.
