Abstract
We use diffractive parton distributions obtained from fits to the diff
ractive structure function measured at HERA to predict cross sections
for single diffractive Higgs production at the LHC. The dominant backg
round processes are also considered. Although some 5%-15% of Higgs eve
nts are predicted to be diffractive in this model, the ratio of signal
to background is not significantly improved. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scienc
