A next-to-leading order fit to HERA diffractive DIS data that includes a fitted 1/Q^2 higher-twist term improves chi2/dof from 1.052 to 1.013 and changes the extracted gluon density, though the effect is not shown to be statistically robust.

abstract
Diffractive parton distributions of the proton are determined from fits to diffractive data from HERA. In addition to the twist--2 contribution, the twist--4 contribution from longitudinally polarised virtual photons is considered, which is important in the region of small diffractive masses. A new prediction for the longitudinal diffractive structure function is presented which differs significantly from that obtained in the pure twist--2 analyses.

Role of higher twist effects in diffractive DIS and determination of diffractive parton distribution functions
A next-to-leading order fit to HERA diffractive DIS data that includes a fitted 1/Q^2 higher-twist term improves chi2/dof from 1.052 to 1.013 and changes the extracted gluon density, though the effect is not shown to be statistically robust.
