Predictions for exclusive vector meson production in the electron-ion collider

We calculate the nuclear cross section for coherent and incoherent vector meson production within the QCD color dipole picture, including saturation effects. Predictions for scattering on both light and heavy nuclei are given over a wide range of energy. Our analysis shows that coherent process shou...

Description
Summary:We calculate the nuclear cross section for coherent and incoherent vector meson production within the QCD color dipole picture, including saturation effects. Predictions for scattering on both light and heavy nuclei are given over a wide range of energy. Our analysis shows that coherent process should be dominant in the future electron-ion collider.
