Exclusive vector meson production in electron - ion collisions at the EIC, LHeC and FCC-eh

The exclusive vector meson production in electron - ion collisions for the energies of the future colliders is investigated. We present predictions for the coherent and incoherent phi and J/psi production in eAu colli-sions considering the possible states of nucleon configurations in the nuclear wave function and taking into account of the non - linear corrections to the QCD dynamics. The cross sections and transverse momentum distributions are estimated assuming the energies of the Electron Ion Collider (EIC), Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) and Future Circular Collider (FCC - eh). Our results indicate that a future experimental analysis of these processes can shed light on the modeling of the gluon saturation effects and constrain the description of the QCD dynamics at high energies.
