Abstract
Diffractive rho meson production has been identified as one of the important processes where saturation can be probed at a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). A source of uncertainty in making predictions for this process lies within the assumed form of the meson light-cone wavefunction. We report here the results of reference [1] where a Regge-inspired dipole model was used to extract this wavefunction as well as the corresponding leading twist-2 Distribution Amplitude from the current accurate HERA data. In addition, we shall check the robustness of the conclusions in reference [1] by using alternative Colour Glass Condensate dipole models.
