Abstract

In the framework of collinear factorization and next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD, we make predictions for inclusive and diffractive dijet photoproduction in electron-proton and electron-nucleus scattering in the EIC kinematics. We establish kinematic ranges in the pˉT{\bar p}_T, ηˉ{\bar \eta}, xAobsx_A^{\rm obs} and xγobsx_{\gamma}^{\rm obs} variables, quantify sensitivity to small-xx nuclear PDFs, and analyze various scenarios of factorization breaking in the case of diffractive scattering.
