The main goal of the VLQ spectrometer is to measure the inclusive photon-proton cross section :
in the 
region between 
and 
. Here
describes the momentum transfer from the incoming HERA electron beam
to the virtual Photon 
.
This region of is up
to now not explored by the H1 experiment due to the lack of detectors
with acceptance in this kinematical region.
In addition further physics topics as exclusive meson production and diffractive physics can be examined.
