Abstract

A polarized ep/eA collider (Electron-Ion Collider, or EIC), with polarized proton and light-ion beams and unpolarized heavy-ion beams with a variable center-of-mass energy √s ~ 20 to ~ 100 GeV (upgradable to ~ 150 GeV) and a luminosity up to ~10 ³⁴ cm ^-2s ^-1, would be uniquely suited to address several outstanding questions of Quantum Chromodynamics, and thereby lead to new qualitative and quantitative information on the microscopic structure of hadrons and nuclei. During this meeting at Jefferson Lab we addressed recent theoretical and experimental developments in the spin and the three-dimensional structure of the nucleon (sea quark and gluon spatial distributions, orbital motion, polarization, and their correlations). Finally, this mini-paper contains a short update on progress in these areas since the EIC White paper (A. Accardi et al., Eur. Phys. J. A 52, 268 (2016)).

Unveiling the proton spin decomposition at a future electron-ion collider

Journal Article Aschenauer, Elke C. ; Sassot, Rodolfo ; Stratmann, Marco - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

We present a detailed assessment of how well a future electron-ion collider could constrain helicity parton distributions in the nucleon and, therefore, unveil the role of the intrinsic spin of quarks and gluons in the proton’s spin budget. Any remaining deficit in this decomposition will provide the best indirect constraint on the contribution due to the total orbital angular momenta of quarks and gluons. Specifically, all our studies are performed in the context of global QCD analyses based on realistic pseudodata and in the light of the most recent data obtained from polarized proton-proton collisions at BNL-RHIC that have providedmore »« less

eRHIC: The Electron Ion Collider at BNL and Its Spin Physics Program

Journal Article Deshpande, Abhay ; RIKEN BNL Research Center, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton NY 11973-5000 - AIP Conference Proceedings

We motivate the need for a future high luminosity, high energy polarized collider capable of deep inelastic scattering of polarized nucleons and nuclei. We propose that building a state of the art electron beam facility near the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) complex to use one of its beams for such a facility would be the most cost effective way to achieve the physics goals. After a brief introduction to eRHIC project at BNL we present the spin physics program at eRHIC. The unpolarized e-A physics program and technical status of the collider design and detector ideas are discussed inmore » other talks.« less

Electron Ion Collider transverse spin physics

Journal Article Prokudin, Alexei - AIP Conference Proceedings

Electron Ion Collider is a future high energy facility for studies of the structure of the nucleon. Three-dimensional parton structure is one of the main goals of EIC. In momentum space Transverse Momentum Dependent Distributions (TMDs) are the key ingredients to map such a structure. At leading twist spin structure of spin-1/2 hadron can be described by 8 TMDs. Experimentally these functions can be studied in polarised SIDIS experiments. We discuss Sivers distribution function that describes distribution of unpolarised quarks in a transversely polarised nucleon and transversity that measures distribution of transversely polarised quarks in a transversely polarised nucleon.

Ballistic protons in incoherent exclusive vector meson production as a measure of rare parton fluctuations at an electron-ion collider

Journal Article Lappi, T. ; Venugopalan, R. ; Mantysaari, H. - Physical Review Letters

We argue that the proton multiplicities measured in Roman pot detectors at an electron ion collider can be used to determine centrality classes in incoherent diffractive scattering. Incoherent diffraction probes the fluctuations in the interaction strengths of multi-parton Fock states in the nuclear wavefunctions. In particular, the saturation scale that characterizes this multi-parton dynamics is significantly larger in central events relative to minimum bias events. As an application, we examine the centrality dependence of incoherent diffractive vector meson production. We identify an observable which is simultaneously very sensitive to centrality triggered parton fluctuations and insensitive to details of the model.
