Abstract

Here we discuss the potential of AFTER@LHC to measure single-transverse-spin asymmetries in open-charm and bottomonium production. With a HERMES-like hydrogen polarised target, such measurements over a year can reach precisions close to the per cent level. This is particularly remarkable since these analyses can probably not be carried out anywhere else.

Quarkonium Physics at a Fixed-Target Experiment Using the LHC Beams

Conference Lansberg, J P ; /Orsay, IPN ; Brodsky, S J ; ... - Few Body Syst.53:11-25,2012

We outline the many quarkonium-physics opportunities offered by a multi-purpose fixed-target experiment using the p and Pb LHC beams extracted by a bent crystal. This provides an integrated luminosity of 0.5 fb{sup -1} per year on a typical 1cm-long target. Such an extraction mode does not alter the performance of the collider experiments at the LHC. With such a high luminosity, one can analyse quarkonium production in great details in pp, pd and pA collisions at {radical}s{sub NN} {approx_equal} 115 GeV and at {radical}s{sub NN} {approx_equal} 72 GeV in PbA collisions. In a typical pp (pA) run, the obtained quarkoniummore »« less

Hadron Structure Studies with a Fixed-Target Experiment at the LHC - AFTER@LHC

Conference Signori, Andrea

I will illustrate some of the opportunities for hadron structure studies at a future multi-purpose fixed-target experiment at the LHC. The proton beams at the LHC allow for the most energetic fixed-target experiments ever performed, opening new kinematic windows on hadron and nuclear physics which integrate the knowledge available from collider experiments (in particular RHIC and EIC).?? I will discuss how AFTER@LHC will shed light on the proton-spin puzzle by investigating Transverse-Momentum Dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs). Unpolarized proton-proton collisions allow to access unpolarized quark and gluon TMDs, the Boer-Mulders quark TMD and the distribution of linearly polarized gluons inmore »« less

Measurement of single-target spin asymmetries in the electroproduction of negative pions in the semi-inclusive deep inelastic reaction n^↑(e,e'π^-)X on a transversely polarized ³He target

Thesis/Dissertation Dutta, Chiranjib

The experiment E06010 measured the target single spin asymmetry (SSA) in the semiinclusive deep inelastic (SIDIS) n^↑(e,e'π^-)X reaction with a transversely polarized ³He target as an e ective neutron target. This is the very rst independent measurement of the neutron SSA, following the measurements at HERMES and COMPASS on the proton and the deuteron. The experiment acquired data in Hall A at Je erson Laboratory with a continuous electron beam of energy 5.9 GeV, probing the valence quark region, with x = 0.13 → 0.41, at Q² = 1.31 → 3.1 GeV². The two contributing mechanisms to the measured asymmetry,more »« less

We outline the opportunities for spin physics which are offered by a next generation and multipurpose fixed-target experiment exploiting the proton LHC beam extracted by a bent crystal. In particular, we focus on the study of single transverse spin asymetries with the polarisation of the target.
