In this paper we analyze nuclear medium effects on DVCS amplitudes in the $\Bx$ range of $0.1-0.0001$ for a large range of $Q^2$ and four different nuclei. We use our nucleon GPD model capable of describing all currently available DVCS data…

We study nuclear shadowing for transverse and longitudinal photons. The coherence length, which controls the onset of nuclear shadowing at small Bjorken-x is longer for longitudinal than for transverse photons. The light-cone Green function…
A Dark Sink uses dark-sector interactions to siphon energy from dark matter to lighter dark degrees of freedom, i.e. dark radiation. Here, we extend dark matter models containing a Dark Sink to sub-MeV masses. We consider a Dark Sink model…
Medium effects as a function of the mass number $A$ are studied in the total photonuclear cross section from the $\Delta$-resonance region up to the region where shadowing effects are known to exist. A consistent picture is obtained by…

We calculate the nuclear cross section for vector meson exclusive photoproduction within the QCD color dipole picture and in the Regge approach. For the former approach, we have considered the phenomenological saturation model, whereas for…
The cross section for coherent $\mathrm{J/}\psi$ photoproduction in Pb-Pb collisions is the sum of two contributions, one from low-, the other from high-energy photon-nucleus interactions. A novel method to disentangle both contributions…
The $e^+e^-$ invariant mass distribution spectra are calculated to estimate the hadron parameters of the $\rho$ meson produced coherently in the photonuclear reaction. The elementary reaction occurring in the nucleus is considered to…
There exist model calculations showing the modification of the hadronic parameters of $\rho$ meson in the nuclear environment. From these parameters, we extract the $\rho$ meson nucleus optical potential and show the medium effect due to…
It is argued that the experimentally observed phenomenon of asymmetric shapes of vector mesons produced in nuclear media during high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions can be explained as Fano-Feshbach resonances. It has been observed that…
Nuclear shadowing in DIS at moderately small $x$ is suppressed by the nuclear formfactor and depends on the effective mass of a hadronic fluctuation of the virtual photon. We propose a solution to the problems (i) of how to combine a…
I review hard photon initiated processes on nuclei. The space-time development of the DIS reaction as viewed in the target rest frame qualitatively describes the nuclear shadowing of quark and gluon distributions, although it may be…
