The workshop aims to bring together theorists,
phenomenologists and detector and accelerator experts to discuss the feasibility
of detecting new phenomena in double diffractive processes including light
scalar particles at the Tevatron and LHC. The current status of diffractive
production processes at the Tevatron and HERA will be also addressed.
The workshop will be held at the University of Manchester's Chancellors Conference Centre, which provides accomodation, meals and conference facilities on-site.

Topics to be discussed will include:
Double diffractive production cross sections of standard model Higgs, CPX Higgs, Radions and other exotic scalars
Design of proton tagging detectors to deliver required mass resolution for detection of very low mass scalar resonances
Estimation of backgrounds
B tagging efficiencies in current and future central detectors (D0, CDF, Atlas and CMS)
Necessary beam conditions, placement of dipole magnets at Tevatron and LHC and possible windows for construction and installation of proton tagging detectors
Current status of diffractive results at Tevatron and HERA
