Abstract In this review, we present and discuss the most recent results on inclusive and exclusive diffractive processes at HERA and Tevatron colliders. Measurements from fixed target experiments at HERMES and Jefferson laboratory are also reviewed. The complementarity of all these results is analyzed in the context of perturbative QCD and new challenging issues in nucleon tomography are studied. A first understanding of how partons are localized in the nucleon to build orbital momenta can be addressed with these experimental results. Some prospects are outlined for new measurements in fixed target kinematic, at Jefferson laboratory and CERN, at COMPASS, or at the LHC. Of special interest is the exclusive (coherent) production of Higgs boson and heavy objects at the LHC. Based on the present knowledge, some perspectives are presented on this issue.
