Abstract

High energy multiparticle photoproduction off nuclear targets is studied. The photon is assumed to interact in direct scattering processes or as a resolved $q\overline{q}$ state according to the generalized vector dominance model. In the description of resolved interactions multiple soft and hard processes in each $q\overline{q}$-nucleon interaction are taken into consideration. The model, formulated within the framework of the two-component dual parton model, is shown to agree with hadron production data from real and weakly virtual photon-nucleus interactions. Differences between multiparticle production in photon-nucleus and hadron-nucleus interactions and features of jet production in photon-nucleus collisions at DESY HERA energies are discussed.
