Abstract
We discuss how photoproduction and electroproduction processes will provide a precise tool to study nuclear structure in the small- region in the future Electron-Ion Collider. In particular, we emphasize how exclusive vector meson production at the EIC can be used to accurately map the gluonic density profile of nuclei, including its event-by-event fluctuations. In addition, we show how measurements of the total diffractive cross section will be sensitive to saturation effects.
