Measurements of soft and hard diffractive processes have been
performed at the Tevatron p anti-p collider during the past decade.
Diffractive events are studied by means of identification of one or more
rapidity gaps and/or a leading antiproton. Here, results are discussed
within the Tevatron data and compared to those obtained at the HERA ep
collider. The traditional "pomeron" is described within the framework of
QCD and the issues discussed include pomeron structure, diffractive cross
section factorization, and universality of rapidity gap formation.
Exclusive dijet and low-mass state production in double-pomeron exchange
processes, including predictions for Higgs production at the LHC from dijet
measurements at the Tevatron.
