Fate of k_perp-factorization for hard processes in nuclear environment

Abstract
Large thickness of heavy nuclei brings in a new scale into the pQCD description of hard processes in nuclear environment. The familiar linear -factorization breaks down and must be replaced by a new concept of the nonlinear -factorization introduced in \cite{Nonlinear}. I demonstrate the salient features of nonlinear -factorization on an example of hard dijet production in DIS off heavy nuclei. I also discuss briefly the non-linear BFKL evolution for gluon density of nuclei.
