Recent soft diffraction results from HERA

Abstract

High statistics measurements of the diffractive reduced cross section $\sigma_r^D$ from the H1 collaboration are presented which make use of two different experimental methods to achieve the largest possible coverage of the kinematic phase space at HERA. The HERA combined diffractive reduced cross sections based on events with a leading proton are also presented. %High statistics measurements of the diffractive reduced cross section $\sigma_r^D$ have been made by H1 collaboration using two experimental methods covering accessible kinematic region. The HERA combined diffractive double-differential reduced cross sections in events % with a leading proton were obtained and compared with theoretical predictions.
