Abstract

We discuss the effects of the electromagnetic interaction in high-energy proton collisions with nuclei of large Z at strong coupling λ=g2Nc\lambda=g^2N_c. Using the holographic dual limit of large Nc>λ1N_c>\lambda\gg 1, we describe the Reggeon exchange as a twisted surface and show that it gets essentially modified by the electromagnetic interaction.
