We present a study of the exclusive $pp\ensuremath{\rightarrow}pp{K}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{K}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ reaction at high energies. We consider diffractive mechanisms with the intermediate $\ensuremath{\phi}\ensuremath{\phi}$ state with its decay into the ${K}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{K}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ system. We include the $\ensuremath{\phi}(1020)$ $\stackrel{^}{t}/\stackrel{^}{u}$-channel exchanges and the ${f}_{2}(2340)$ $s$-channel exchange mechanism. This ${f}_{2}$ state is a candidate for a tensor glueball. …
