Abstract
We calculate the nuclear inclusive and diffractive cross sections for heavy quark photoproduction within a phenomenological saturation approach. The nuclear cross section is obtained by the extension of the saturation model through Glauber-Gribov formalism. We predict large nuclear heavy quark cross section at LHC energies.
