The LHC Collider Ring can be turned into a photon-photon search machine based on Central Exclusive Process (CEP): pp -> p + X + p. The present extensive Beam Loss Monitoring (BLM) system of the LHC precisely registers the exit points of the final state CEP protons according to their longitudinal momentum losses. The BLM system is being continuously extended, and equipped with fast timing and data acquisition systems, will enable efficient new physics event tagging together with the LHC experiments. The LHC Ring can be used to facilitate an on-line automatic search machine for the physics of tomorrow.
