Abstract
Cross sections for the diffractive photoproduction of the Upsilon-family at HERA energies, within the framework of the analysis by Frankfurt, Koepf and Strikman, are presented. They compare well with the recent preliminary data from ZEUS and H1. Two novel effects lead to a significant enhancement of the original calculation: the non-diagonal (or skewed) kinematics, calculated to leading-log(Q^2) accuracy, and the large magnitude of the real part of the amplitude. A considerably stronger rise in energy is predicted than that found in J/Psi-production.
