The main objectives of the proposed project are predictions for the cross section of dijet photoproduction in nucleus-nucleus and proton-nucleus ultraperipheral collisions at Run 2 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at next-to-leading order of perturbative QCD, studies of the sensitivity of this cross section to the small-x effects of nuclear shadowing in nuclear parton distribution functions, and a quantitative analysis of the possibility to obtain new constraints on small-x nuclear parton distribution functions using this process. In addition, the relative merits of dijet production in photon-nucleus and proton-nucleus scattering for constraining small-x nuclear parton distribution functions will be compared, and predictions for dijet photoproduction in lepton-nucleus scattering at a future Electron Ion Collider (EIC) or Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) will be made.

该项目的主要目标是预测大型强子对撞机(LHC)第二次运行时在微扰QCD下的核-核和质子-核超周边碰撞的双喷流光产生截面，研究这一截面对核部分子分布函数中核阴影的小x效应的敏感性，以及定量分析利用这一过程获得小x核部分子分布函数的新约束的可能性。此外，还将比较光子-核和质子-核散射在约束小x核部分子分布函数方面的相对优点，并对未来的电子离子对撞机(EIC)或大型强子电子对撞机(LHeC)的轻子-核散射中的双喷流光产生进行预测。
