Sumario:Recent data on diffractive photoproduction of dijets are analyzed within the framework of fracture functions and paying special attention to the consequences of the use of different rapidity gap definitions in order to identify diffractive events. Although these effects are found to be significant, it is shown that once they are properly taken into account, a very precise agreement between diffractive deep inelastic scattering and diffractive dijet photoproduction emerges without any significant hint of hard factorization breaking. © 1999 The American Physical Society.
