Abstract A first differential measurement of charged current diffractive interactions is presented using data taken by the H1 experiment amounting to an integrated luminosity of 63 pb^-1. The process e^+ p -> nubar X Y is studied, where the Y system is a proton or proton remnant with M_Y < 1.6 GeV, separated from the X system by a large gap in pseudorapidity. The squared four-momentum transfer |t| < 1 GeV^2. Total and differential cross-sections are extracted in the kinematic range Q^2 > 200 GeV^2 and x_pom < 0.05 and are compared with predictions from models of diffractive DIS.
