Currently, the long-standing issue concerning the size of the gluonic content of the eta and eta mesons remains unsettled. With this in mind we consider the central exclusive production (CEP) of eta' , eta meson pairs in the perturbative regime, applying the Durham pQCD-based model of CEP and the 'hard exclusive' formalism to evaluate the meson production subprocess. We calculate for the first time the relevant leading order parton-level processes gg -> q (q) over bar gg and gg -> gggg, where the final-state gg and q (q) over bar pairs form a pseudoscalar flavour-singlet state. We observe that these amplitudes display some non-trivial and interesting theoretical properties, and we comment on their origin. Finally, we present a phenomenological study, and show that the cross sections for the CEP of eta', eta meson pairs are strongly sensitive to the size of the gluon content of these mesons. The observation of these processes could therefore provide important and novel insight into this problem.
