Description

We investigate saturation effects in exclusive vector meson production in deep inelastic scattering (DIS), where we model fluctuations within the target protons as localized color charge hotspots. Using the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) framework and the dipole picture for vector meson production, we examine the coherent and incoherent scattering cross sections' dependencies on momentum transfer in the dilute and dense limits. We find that saturation has mild effects in the given energy and charge density ranges, but can also show that suppression becomes more prominent as the color charge density inside the proton increases.
