  Understanding the role of Quantum Chromodynamics in generating nuclear forces
is important for uncovering the mechanism of short-ranged nuclear interactions
and their manifestation in short range correlations (SRC). The future
Electron-Ion-Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the US will
provide an unprecedented opportunity to systematically investigate the
underlying physics of SRC for energies and kinematic regions that are otherwise
impossible to reach. We study SRCs in electron-deuteron scattering events using
the Monte Carlo event generator BeAGLE. Specifically, we investigate the
sensitivity of observables to high internal nucleon momentum in incoherent
diffractive $J/\psi$ vector meson production. In a plane wave impulse
approximation, the initial state deuteron wavefunction can be accessed directly
from the four-momentum of the spectator nucleon. We use realistic physics
simulations and far-forward detector simulations of the EIC to fully reveal the
physics potential of this exclusive process. In particular, we provide the
luminosity and detector requirements necessary to study SRCs in the deuteron at
an EIC.
