Scientific paper

The Herschel Space Observatory will make important contributions to most fields of astrophysics. Sensitive observations at high spatial and/or spectral resolution will permit to study extensively the physical and chemical properties of the diffuse interstellar medium, both in our Galaxy and in external galaxies. We present specific subjects for which observations with Herschel are expected to make decisive contributions. The small scale structure of the diffuse ISM, in connection with the global thermal balance of the ISM in the Galactic disk, the evolution of dust properties from ionised gas to neutral atomic clouds to molecular regions, and the chemistry of diffuse clouds are among the most promising themes.
