Title: Probing short-range correlations in the deuteron via incoherent diffractive J/ψ production with spectator tagging at the EIC

Journal Article · · Physics Letters. B

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 vector meson production. In a plane wave impulse approximation, the initial state deuteron wave function can be accessed directly from the four-momentum of the spectator nucleon. We use realistic physics estimates and a conceptual far-forward detector simulations of the EIC to fully reveal the potential of this exclusive process. In particular, we provide the luminosity and detector requirements necessary to study SRCs in the deuteron at an EIC.
