Abstract
The possibilities for inclusive diffraction in the Electron Ion Collider, EIC, in the US, are analyzed. We find that thanks to the excellent forward proton tagging, the EIC will be able to access a wider kinematical range of longitudinal momentum fraction and momentum transfer of the leading proton than at HERA. This opens up the possibility to measure subleading diffractive exchanges. The extended $t$-range would allow the precise extraction of 4-dimensional reduced cross section in diffraction. In addition, the varying beam energy setups at the EIC would allow for precise measurements of the longitudinal diffractive structure function.

Report
Nicely written report on diffractive physics at the EIC. Two minor comments on the figures.
1. In panel (a) of figure 4, the legend should be moved off of the curve.
2. In fig. 6, the legend uses the symbol "÷", which is typically used (at least in the US) to denote division. Recommend for clarity to change this to the dash symbol "-".
