Description
Photoproduction processes have gained a renewed interest following the approval of the EIC, making their implementation in Monte Carlo event generators highly desirable. I will present recent efforts to develop a POWHEG-BOX extension simulating dijet production from direct and resolved photons at NLO, leveraging the Weizsäcker-Williams Approximation. Its wide-ranging applicability will enable event generation for collisions involving leptons, protons and heavy ions. Thus, it will be particularly useful for the study of ultra-peripheral collisions (UPCs) and for making predictions relevant to the EIC.
