RESUMO

In this paper we investigate the saturation physics in diffractive deep inelastic electron-ion scattering. We estimate the energy and nuclear dependence of the ratio sigmadiff/sigmatot. We show that saturation physics predicts that up to 37 % of the events observed at eRHIC should be diffractive. We have also studied how our results depend on the prescription to extend the saturation scale to the nuclear case.
