Diffraction at HERA and Prospects with H1

Abstract

In the context of the tremendous progress achieved at HERA in diffraction and the need for a new level of statistical and systematic precision, the new very large acceptance forward spectrometer planned by H1 (VFPS) is presented and the physics issues are stressed.
