Description
Inclusive diffraction in eA is seen as a first year measurement of saturation physics at the electron-ion collider. Therefore it is crucial to be able to simulate and generate inclusive diffractive events at small momentum fractions. This new version of Sartre is the first event generator for inclusive diffraction at small x in electron-ion collisions. Sartre calculates the amplitudes in the dipole model where the virtual photon splits into either a quark-antiquark dipoles, or the higher Fockstate of a quark-antiquark-gluon double dipole. Once the partonic final state has been generated, we use the Lund string fragmentation model in Pythia 8 for hadronisation. In order to enable fast event-generation we store lookup tables of the cross-sections on disk, which are created using machine learning techniques. There is also an extension to heavy flavours produced in ultra-peripheral collisions at RHIC and the LHC. I will show results of both inclusive and exclusive observables resulting from our simulations.
