abstract
We present a new implementation of photoproduction processes in e+e- and ep collisions into Pythia 8 Monte-Carlo event-generator. In particular we discuss how the parton showers and multiparton interactions are generated with a resolved photon beam and what is the relative contribution from direct processes in different kinematical regions. As an application we show comparisons to data for charged-particle production in e+e- and ep collisions at LEP and HERA. We consider also photoproduction of dijets comparing to data for ep collisions at HERA and discuss about possibility to further constrain nuclear PDFs with ultra-peripheral heavy-ion collisions at the LHC.

Systematic comparison of three event generators shows they describe photoproduction data adequately, with PYTHIA and SHERPA performing best, and identifies photon PDF refits plus RIVET measurements as prerequisites for EIC precision.
