Description

High-energy photoproduction on nuclear targets is studied within the two-component Dual Parton Model. The photon is assumed to interact as a quark-antiquark system and as a 'bare photon' in direct scattering processes with target nucleons. Ideas of the Generalized Vector Dominance Model and leading order perturbative QCD are applied to estimate both contributions. Based on the Monte Carlo event generator DTUNUC 2.0 we calculate total cross sections and particle production by real and weakly virtual photons. A reasonable agreement to data from photon-nucleus collisions is found. Furthermore differences between multiparticle production in photon-nucleus and hadron-nucleus interactions are discussed.
