We present a new technique to calculate the cross-section for diffractive vector meson production and DVCS in electron-ion collisions based on dipole model. The measurement of these processes can provide valuable information non-linear QCD phenomena, such as gluon saturation, is only known way gain insight into spatial distribution gluons nuclei. predictions differential $d\sigma/dQ^2$ $d\sigma/dt$ $J/\psi$ $\phi$ heavy nuclei demonstrate feasibility extracting source nuclei, F(b), from...

We investigate saturation effects in ep scattering as well ultraperipheral pA and AA collisions at small x with four variants of the impact parameter dependent color dipole model: without gluon a novel mechanism that suppresses unphysical radii above confinement scale, problem not addressed by most implementations. show HERA can be very described any variants. When going from to eA scattering, are expected increase ∼A1/3. In lieu an electron-ion collider, we confront different versions model...
Impact parameter dependent dipole models are ideal tools for investigating the spatial structure of proton. We investigate incoherent $ep$ cross section in exclusive $J/\psi$ photoproduction as measured by HERA, and find that $|t|$ increases, need several levels substructure gluon density fluctuations order to describe data well. In lieu a perturbative description, we add this hand. This is modelled hotspots within hotspots. enables us measurements $|t|> 1$~GeV$^2$, which necessary...
The gluon radius of the proton is expected to increase at small momentum fractions $x$, an effect which has hitherto not been considered in dipole model framework. We investigate energy dependence exclusive $J/\ensuremath{\psi}$, $\ensuremath{\phi}$, and $\ensuremath{\rho}$ production by introducing three models for $x$ thickness function. allow transverse width as decreases, using novel parametrizations spherical hotspot model. compare these with a where number hotspots increases decreases...
We apply the MC@NLO formalism to production of heavy-quark pairs in pointlike photon-hadron collisions. By combining this result with its analogue relevant hadron-hadron collisions, we obtain NLO predictions matched parton showers for photoproduction QQ^{-} pairs. compare results measurements c- and b-flavoured hadron observables performed by H1 ZEUS collaborations at HERA.
Sartre~has been extensively used for describing photon-nuclei processes at the electron-ion collider (EIC) as well ultra-peripheral collisions (UPC) LHC and RHIC. Sartre is an event generator which implements dipole model DIS, models transverse geometry of target nucleus or proton in coordinate space. It uses Good-Walker mechanism simulating fluctuations contribute to incoherent cross section breaks up after interaction. With improved precision UPC measurements last years, a detailed test...
We investigate events with very forward neutrons in $ep$ collisions at HERA using impact parameter dependent color dipole models and without saturation. This is the first study of leading neutron process deploying these models. The model predictions are compared available measurements for $6<{Q}^{2}<100\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{GeV}}^{2}$, $70<W<245\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$. Our analysis shows that exhibit Feynman scaling, independent ${Q}^{2}$. results demonstrate $W$ ${Q}^{2}$ dependence cross...
The hotspot model has proven to be an efficient tool study coherent and incoherent diffraction HERA data by modelling the initial state of proton. in its original form is a non-perturbative applicable for low momentum transfer underestimates cross section orders magnitude when extended large studies J/ψ photo-production at HERA. We present here splittings based on resolution evolution probes gluon wave function smaller length scales as we increase which appears our model. In addition...

Geometry tagging is an experimental technique for selecting event samples where one can, on a statistical basis, control the geometry of collision in order to make more incisive physics measurements. Several measurements at EIC would benefit significantly from use this technique, including studies gluon anti-shadowing, parton propagation, attenuation and hadronization nucleus, ultimately search saturation. The JLEIC full-acceptance detector, with full acceptance forward-going neutrons,...

With the imminent construction of an electron-ion collider in USA, both saturation physics and nuclear shadowing will be important for same processes first time. In particular exclusive production vector mesons, such as J/$\psi$. this paper we investigate underlying assumptions commonly made when phenomenologically investigating process from a perspective respectively. We use bSat model which is used to describe physics, calculation by M.G. Ryskin describing at leading twist. It expected...
We show within the saturation framework that measurements of exclusive vector meson production at high energy provide evidence for strong geometric fluctuations proton.In comparison, effect scale and color charge is weak.This knowledge will allow detailed future incoherent cross section to tightly constrain fluctuating geometry proton as a function parton momentum fraction x.
