Description
We argue that a wide range of phenomena which could be studies in UPC collisions at the LHC would be able to serve as a forerunner of studies to be performed within the small x program at EIC. This includes elastic and incoherent diffractive J/ψ production off nuclei where one would be able to reach x=10-5 direct photon production of charm dijets both in inclusive and diffractive modes. Another promising process is production of leading J/ψ at large t with rapidity gap both in γp and γA scattering.In particular the γA -> ψ + gap +Y reaction would provide a unique opportunity to study propagation of a small color singlet dipole though a high density nuclear matter. Advantages of collecting information about neutron multiplicity in a ZDC are emphasized.
