Diffractive structure function FLD from fits with higher twist

Abstract

We make predictions for the diffractive longitudinal structure function FLD to be measured at HERA, based on DGLAP fits of diffractive parton distributions with twist--4 contribution. This contribution describes diffractive qqbar production from longitudinal photons and significantly changes predictions for FLD obtained in pure DGLAP analyses.
