Abstract The cross section for the diffractive deep-inelastic scattering process $ep \to e X p$ is measured, with the leading final state proton detected in the H1 Forward Proton Spectrometer, using data collected at HERA-2. The data cover the range $\xpom <0.1$ in fractional proton longitudinal momentum loss, $0.1 \leq |t| \leq 0.7~{\rm GeV}^2$ in squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex, $5 \leq Q^2 \leq 200~{\rm GeV}^2$ in photon virtuality and $0.0018 \leq \beta = x / \xpom \leq 0.56$, where $x$ is the Bjorken scaling variable. The cross section is measured differentially in $t, \xpom, \beta$ and $Q^2$. The ratio of the diffractive to the inclusive $ep$ cross section is studied as a function of $Q^2, \beta$ and $\xpom$. The $t$ and $\xpom$ dependences are interpreted in terms of an effective pomeron trajectory and a sub-leading exchange. The data are compared with QCD predictions at next-to-leading order based on diffractive parton distribution functions previously extracted from measurements of inclusive diffractive deep-inelastic scattering.
