Description

We compute diffractive structure functions from Wilson line configurations whose energy evolution is given by the JIMWLK equation. We use a JIMWLK evolution setup that has already been constrained with exclusive vector meson production data from HERA. Our results can be compared to HERA measurements and also extended to heavy nuclei. In particular we can calculate predictions for the nuclear modification factor and diffractive-to-total cross section ratios at the EIC.
