The exclusive diffractive production of vector mesons and real photons in ep collisions has been studied at HERA in a wide kinematic range. Here the most recent experimental results are presented together with a Regge-type model and…
We present a detailed comparison of a variety of predictions for diffractive light vector meson production with the data collected at the HERA collider. All our calculations are performed within a dipole model framework and make use of…
Recent HERA data on structure functions and reduced cross-sections are presented and their significance for our understanding of the low-x region is discussed.
We study a twist decomposition of diffractive structure functions in the diffractive deep inelastic scattering at HERA. At low $Q^2$ and at large energy the data exhibit a strong deviation from the twist-2 NLO DGLAP description. It is found…
A review is presented of diffractive vector meson production at HERA, with stress on the investigation of ``hard'' features and comparisons with theoretical predictions based on perturbative QCD approaches.
Data are presented on the production of jets and pi^0 mesons at low Bjorken x in a kinematic region where standard DGLAP evolution in Q^2 gives little phase space for high p_t particle and jet production. The data are compared with various…
A selected review of topics at the border of hard and soft physics is given. Particular emphasis is a placed on diffraction dissociation at Fermilab and HERA. Recently, significant differences between diffraction dissociation at HERA and at…
We analyse the newest diffractive deep inelastic scattering data from HERA using the dipole model approach. We find a reasonable good agreement between the predictions and the data although the region of small values of a kinematic variable…
We make predictions for the diffractive longitudinal structure function F_L^D to be measured at HERA, based on DGLAP fits of diffractive parton distributions with twist--4 contribution. This contribution describes diffractive qqbar…
We pursue the hypothesis that the events with a large rapidity gap, observed at HERA, reflect the scattering of electrons off lumps of wee partons inside the proton. A simple scaling behaviour is predicted for the diffractive structure…
Measurements of diffraction in electron-proton collisions are presented. All measured processes which occur through the exchange of a virtual photon (DIS) are consistent with a universal structure. For the diffractive photoproduction of…

The H1 and ZEUS collaborations at HERA report new data on the diffractive production of vector mesons with a many-fold increase of luminosity compared to previous measurements. The new data include photoproduction and electroproduction of…
We summarise recent progress in the computation of helicity amplitudes for diffractive vector meson production at large momentum transfer and their comparison to data collected at the HERA collider.
Small-x DIS is described as the scattering of a partonic fluctuation of the photon off a superposition of target color fields. Diffraction occurs if the emerging partonic state is in a color singlet. Introducing a specific model for the…
The contribution of subleading reggeons to the diffractive structure function ${dF_{2}^D / dx_{\funp} dt}$ is estimated from the soft physics data. This contribution leads in a natural way to the violation of the factorization property of…
In this talk I review the low x QCD experimental results from HERA and their theoretical underpinnings. In particular, I discuss the structure function $F_2$, large rapidity gap events, pomeron structure functions and $J/\psi$ production.
Recent results from HERA are presented. The main reviewed subjects are polarized DIS cross sections, parton density determination, diffractive PDFs, multi-jet production and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.
Diffraction studies at HERA are introduced, with reference to other communications to this Conference. Motivations and specific features of the experimental approaches are stressed.
Results on diffractive scattering observed at HERA and at the TEVATRON are reviewed. This includes the extraction of diffractive parton density functions and determination of the rapidity gap survival probability at HERA and the observation…
