Abstract
Future electron-ion
colliders (eIC) will focus on the unitarity properties
of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) in the limit of strong nuclear
absorption. Strong nuclear shadowing and a
large abundance of coherent diffraction are the most striking
consequences of unitarity, and here we report quantitative
predictions for these effects in the kinematical range of the
planned eIC.
