We pursue the intriguing possibility that larger-size instantons build up diffractive scattering, with the marked instanton-size scale <rho> approximately 0.5 fm being reflected in the conspicuous ``geometrization'' of soft QCD. As an…
Measurements of $D^{*}(2010)$ meson production in diffractive deep inelastic scattering $(5<Q^{2}<100~{\rm GeV}^{2})$ are presented which are based on HERA data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 319{\rm~GeV}$ with an…
