We discuss our model for soft colour interactions and present results on the diffractive structure function $F_2^D(\beta,x_\pom,Q^2)$ and inclusive transverse energy flows, which agree with available HERA data.
Order $\alpha_s$-corrections to the diffractive structure functions $F_L^D$ and $F_2^D$ at large $Q^2$ and small $x$ are evaluated in the semiclassical approach, where the initial proton is treated as a classical colour field. The…
