Abstract The cross section for the diffractive deep-inelastic scattering process $ep o e X p$ is measured, with the leading final state proton detected in the H1 Forward Proton Spectrometer, using data collected at HERA-2 in years 2005-2007. The analysed data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 170 pb^-1. The data cover the range $pom <0.1$ in fractional proton longitudinal momentum loss, $0.1 < |t| < 0.7 GeV^{-2}$ in squared four-momentum transfer at the proton vertex, $4 < Q^2 < 125 GeV^2$ in photon virtuality and $0.001 < eta = x / pom < 1$, where $x$ is the Bjorken scaling variable. The cross section is measured differentially in $pom, eta$ and $Q^2$. 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.
