CGC/saturation approach for soft interactions at high energy: survival probability of the central exclusive production

We estimate the value of the survival probability for central exclusive production, in a model, which is based on the CGC/saturation approach. Hard and soft processes are described in the same framework. At LHC energies, we obtain a small value for the survival probability. The source of the small value, is the impact parameter dependence of the hard amplitude. Our model has successfully described a large body of soft data: elastic, inelastic and diffractive cross sections,inclusive production and rapidity correlations, as well as the $t$-dependence of deep inelastic diffractive production of vector mesons
