MSSMwithout ‘clever hardware’: for H(SM)bb at 60fb-1 onlya handful of events due tosevere exp. cuts and low efficiencies,though S/B~1 . But H->WW mode at M>135 GeV. (B.Cox et al-06)
enhanced trigger strategy & improved timing detectors (FP420, TDR)
The backgrounds to the diffractive H bb mode are manageable!
situation in the MSSM is very different from the SM
Conventionally due to overwhelming QCD backgrounds, the direct measurement of
Hbb is hopeless

Myths
For the channel bgds are well known and incorporated in the MCs:
Exclusive LO - production (mass-suppressed) + gg misident+ soft & hard PP collisions.
Reality
The background calculations are still in progress : (uncomfortably & unusually large high-order QCD and b-quark mass effects).
About a dozen various sources (studied by Durham group)
admixture of |Jz|=2 production. NLO radiative contributions (hard blob and screened gluons)
NNLO one-loop box diagram (mass- unsuppressed, cut-non-reconstructible) ‘Central inelastic’ backgrounds (soft and hard Pomerons) b-quark mass effects in dijet events ………..

for Higgs searches in the forward proton mode QCD backgrounds are suppressed by Jz=0 selection rule and by colour, spin and mass resolution (M/M) –factors.
There must be a god
Do not need many events to establish cleanly that the Higgs is a scalar and to measure the mass

MHV-technique: an elegant way to write down the tree-level (and loop) helicity amplitudes in a compact way, automatically accounting for the possible cancellations between different terms, caused by gauge invariance and symmetry properties (e.g. Parke & Taylor-1986).

Conclusion
Strongly suppressed and controllable QCD backgrounds in the forward proton mode provide a potential for direct determination of the Hbb Yukawa coupling,
for probing Higgs CP properties and for measuring its mass and width.
In some BSM scenarios pp p +(Hbb) +p may become a
discovery channel at the LHC. Further bgd reduction may be achieved by experimental improvements, better accounting for the kinematical constraints, correlations….. The complete background calculation is still in progress (unusually & uncomfortably large high-order QCD effects, Pile-Up at high lumi)
