Description
We will present an overview of phenomenological studies of nuclear effects in photon-nucleus scattering using heavy ion ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) at the LHC. In particular, we will discuss how exclusive charmonium and inclusive dijet production in Pb-Pb UPCs at the LHC can help to better constrain nuclear parton distribution (PDFs) in the small-x shadowing region. We will also discuss implications of these results for the studies of small-x partons and QCD dynamics at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC).
