Let us dream of e-Uranium DIS at THERA at Q ∼ 10 GeV and x ∼ 10. Violent DIS is associated with complete destruction of the target, deposition of a mere dozen MeV energy breaks the uranium nucleus entirely, yet a rigorous prediction from unitarity is that diffractive DIS eU → eXU with the target nucleus emerging intact in the ground state will make≈ 50% of total DIS ! By the Glauber-Gribov theo...
