Results from a phenomenological analysis for diffractive hadroproduction of heavy flavors at high energies are reported. Diffractive production of charm, bottom, and top are calculated using Regge factorization, taking into account recent experimental determination of the diffractive parton density functions in the Pomeron by the H1 Collaboration at DESY-HERA. In addition, multiple-Pomeron corrections are considered through the rapidity gap survival probability factor. We give numerical predictions for single diffractive as well as double Pomeron exchange cross sections, which agree with the available data for diffractive production of charm and beauty. We make estimates which could be compared to future measurements at the CERN LHC.
