The Higgs boson production is investigated in proton-proton collisions atnext-to-leading-order accuracy in central exclusive diffractive processes atthe LHC. The production process by the double Pomeron exchange is analyzed inthe diffractive factorization through the Ingelman-Schlein approach, takinginto account the parton content of the Pomeron by the diffractive partonicdistribution function provided by the H1 Collaboration. Hence, we estimate theproduction cross section of the Higgs boson as well as its rapiditydistribution for distinct energies of the LHC. Also, we include the gapsurvival probability in our calculation, which is studied in recent works andexpected to lie in the range between 1% and 5% for the energy regime of 14 TeV.As a result, we found a production cross section of about 0.3--0.8 (1.2--3.7)fb at 7 (14) TeV, being of the same order as predicted by the two-photon andthe Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov Pomeron mechanisms. Therefore, assuming theselection rules of spin-parity properties, the exclusive production is apromising channel for the Higgs boson detection in the LHC.
