New data from the running period 1999-2000.
The last period with the ZEUS Forward Plug Calorimeter (FPC) and the Leading Proton Spectrometer (LPS) installed.
Results from all three methods to extract inclusive diffractive events:

Forward proton tagged events are practically free of proton dissociation background.

They contain, however, contributionsfrom Reggeon exchange at high xIP or low xL.
2.) The large (pseudo)rapidity (max) method
max minη = -ln tan(Θ /2)
No tracks or energy deposits in calorimeter for rapidities greater than max or at angles less than min.
Events tagged by a large rapidity are dominatedby diffraction but they contain contributions from proton dissociation and from Reggeon exchange.

SANG adjusted to fit data which aredominated by proton dissociation
Proton dissociation can bereliably calculated forMN > 2.3 GeV and has beensubtracted from data
The ZEUS MX-resultscontain contributions fromproton dissociation for masses MN < 2.3 GeV.

Data are presented for 9 Q2-bins, 7 W-bins, and 6 MX-bins at reference values Q2ref, Wref, MXref
Diffractive data selected by the MX-method contain proton dissociative eventsbut no contributions from Regge exchange

Ratio of total diffractive cross-section to total DIS cross-section

Mx 98-99
Mx 99-00 (prel.)
Within the errors of the measurementsr is independent of W.
At W=220 GeV, r can be fitted by
r = diff(0.28<MX<35 GeV)/tot at W=220 GeV
r = 0.22 – 0.034.ln(1+Q2)
This logarithmic dependence of the ratioof total diffractive cross-section to the total DIS cross section indicates thatdiffraction is a leading twist process for not too low Q2.

xIPF2D(3) exhibits :
• a broad maximum around =0.5 which is due to the transverse qq-contribution,
• a steep rise towards small which is generated by the qqg-contribution,
• a longitudinal qqg-contribution which is sizeable only at very high and causes the structure function not to vanish at = 1.

Summary
• ZEUS presented preliminary results on inclusive diffraction from 3 different methods for the extraction of inclusive diffractive events.
• Results from all 3 methods are derived from data taken during the same time.• • The results span a wide range of the kinematic region up to high Q2.
• There is good to reasonable agreement for the results from all 3 methods.
• In particular, there is agreement for the Q2-dependence of the structure function between the MX-method and the LRG-method.
• There is also good agreement compared to results from H1 for the LRG- and FPS method.
• Work continues to understand some remaining minor differences, in particular with respect to the relative normalisations.
• We try to get a consistent picture out of the results from these three methods.

They contain, however, contributionsfrom Reggeon exchange at high xIP or low xL.
2.) The large (pseudo)rapidity (max) method
max minη = -ln tan(Θ /2)
No tracks or energy deposits in calorimeter for rapidities greater than max or at angles less than min.
Events tagged by a large rapidity are dominatedby diffraction but they contain contributions from proton dissociation and from Reggeon exchange.
