Abstract
The distribution of a suitably defined
azimuthal angle in diffractive deep inelastic scattering contains
information on the polarisation of the exchanged photon. In
particular it allows one to constrain the longitudinal diffractive
structure function. We investigate the potential of such bounds in
general and for particular diffractive final states.
