Abstract

The purposes and possibilities of future diffractive structure function measurements at HERA are presented. A review of the current range and accuracy of the measurement of F2D(3)(β,xp,Q2)F_2^{D(3)}(\beta, x_p, Q^2) is presented and an estimate of the precision of future measurements is given. A feasibility study is performed on the measurement of the structure functions F2D(4)(β,xp,Q2,t)F_2^{D(4)}(\beta, x_p, Q^2, t), F2charmDF_{2 charm}^{D}, RD(3)R^{D(3)}, RD(4)R^{D(4)} and FLpF_L^{p}. Included in this study are estimates of the integrated luminosity required, the analysis techniques to be employed and values of systematic error that could be expected.
