Exclusive Diffraction at HERA.
X. Janssen

These proceedings reports on results on exclusive vector meson production and deeply virtual Compton scattering at the HERA electron-proton collider. These reactions are ideally suited for studying the structure of the proton and the transition from soft to hard processes. The main experimental data obtained by the H1 and ZEUS experiments are summarised and presented in the light of QCD approaches.
Key words: HERA, diffraction, vector mesons, DVCS
