Abstract

The experimental results of the future Electron-Ion (eA) Collider are expected to constrain the dynamics of the strong interactions at small values of the Bjorken x variable and large nuclei. Recently it has been suggested that Coulomb corrections can be important in inclusive and diffractive eA interactions. In this paper, we present a detailed investigation of the impact of the Coulomb corrections to some of the observables that will be measured in the future eA collider. In particular, we estimate the magnitude of these corrections for the charm and longitudinal cross sections in inclusive and diffractive interactions. Our results demonstrate that the Coulomb corrections for these observables are negligible, which implies that they can be used to probe the QCD dynamics. (AU)
