We discuss exclusive double diffractive (EDD) production of Higgs boson and heavy quark-heavy antiquark pairs at high energies. Differential distributions for cc-bar at {radical}(s) = 1.96 GeV and for bb-bar at {radical}(s) = 14 TeV are shown and discussed. Irreducible leading-order bb-bar background to Higgs production is calculated in several kinematical variables. The signal-to-background ratio is shown and several improvements are suggested by imposing cuts on b(b-bar) transverse momenta and rapidities.
