Inclusive Diffraction at Hera

New precision measurements of inclusive diffractive deep-inelastic ep scattering interactions, performed by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations at the HERA collider, are discussed. A new set of diffractive parton distributions, determined from recent high precision H1 data, is presented.

Future Diffraction at HERA

Future prospects of hard diffraction at HERA a reviewed. A selection of processes which can be calculated in pQCD is given, with emphasis on the separation of soft and hard diffraction. The main focus will be put on the energy dependence of diffractive processes and signatures for the hard pQCD pomeron. Problems in the experimental detection of these processes and the expected significance of f...

Diffraction at Hera

Recent results on diffraction at HERA, as measured by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations, are reviewed. Results on the photon-proton total hadronic cross section, on vector meson production both at small and large photon virtuality and on photon diffraction are presented. The experimental signature of diffraction at HERA, as well as the selection methods used by the two collaborations are explained.
