In this short review, we describe some of the results on diffraction from the
Tevatron and give some prospects for the LHC. In particular, we discuss the

program/ We finish by presenting the project of installing forward detectors in
the ATLAS collaboration at 220 and 420 m.Comment: Contribution to the proceedings of the Cracow epiphany conference on
