The production of dijets is measured in diffractive deep-inelastic scattering at HERA. The data were recorded with the H1 detector at DESY in the years 2003-2007. Diffractive events are selected by requiring a gap in the rapidity…
A measurement of the inclusive ep scattering cross section is presented in the region of low momentum transfers, 0.2 GeV^2 < Q^2 < 12 GeV^2, and low Bjorken x, 5x10^-6 < x < 0.02. The result is based on two data sets collected in dedicated…
It is demonstrated that the global properties of the rapidity gap events at HERA can be understood based on electron-gluon scattering and a non-perturbative mechanism of colour neutralization. Using the measured inclusive structure function…

The drastic rise of the proton structure function F_2(x,Q^2) when the Bj\"orken variable x decreases, seen at HERA for a large span of Q^2, negative values for the 4-momentum transfer, may be damped when Q^2 increases beyond several…
