Abstract

We describe the twist-2 contributions to inclusive unpolarized and polarized deep-inelastic diffractive scattering in an operator approach. The representation refers to the observed large rapidity gap but does not require reference to a pomeron picture. We discuss both the case of vanishing target mass MM and momentum transfer tt as well as the effects at finite tt and MM, which lead to modifications at large β\beta and low values of Q2Q^2.
