Abstract

This talk concerns the production of open charm in diffractive deep inelastic scattering. This has been calculated recently in the context of the semi-classical approach to diffraction. A comparison is made to approaches in which the diffractive exchange is modelled by the exchange of two gluons in the t-channel. Two phenomenological test of the underlying partonic process are discussed.
