Abstract
Using the two-gluon exchange model of the pomeron, the total and diffe rential cross-section for production of heavy quark-antiquark pairs (c cBAR, bbBAR, ttBAR) by double pomeron exchange in high energy proton-p roton collisions is calculated. The results for production of heavy qu ark-antiquark pairs are compared with those for production of the Higg s boson in the same reaction.
