Title: Electron-deuteron deep-inelastic scattering with spectator nucleon tagging and final-state interactions at intermediate $x$

Abstract

We consider electron-deuteron deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) with detection of a proton in the nuclear fragmentation region ("spectator tagging") as a method for extracting the free neutron structure functions and studying their nuclear modifications. Such measurements could be performed at a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) with suitable forward detectors. The measured proton recoil momentum (≲ 100 MeV in the deuteron rest frame) specifies the deuteron configuration during the high-energy process and permits a controlled theoretical treatment of nuclear effects. Nuclear and nucleonic structure are separated using methods of light-front quantum mechanics. The impulse approximation (IA) to the tagged DIS cross section contains the free neutron pole, which can be reached by on-shell extrapolation in the recoil momentum. Final-state interactions (FSI) distort the recoil momentum distribution away from the pole. In the intermediate-x region 0.1 < x < 0.5 FSI arise predominantly from interactions of the spectator proton with slow hadrons produced in the DIS process on the neutron (rest frame momenta ≲1 GeV, target fragmentation region). We construct a schematic model describing this effect, using final-state hadron distributions measured in nucleon DIS experiments and low-energy hadron scattering amplitudes. We investigate the magnitude of FSI, their dependence on the recoil momentum (angularmore »« less

We comment on the prospects for neutron structure extraction in tagged DIS with EIC. Finally, we discuss possible extensions of the FSI model to other kinematic regions (large/small x). In tagged DIS at x << 0.1 FSI resulting from diffractive scattering on the nucleons become important and require separate treatment.},

Polarized light ions and spectator nucleon tagging at EIC

Conference Guzey, Vadim ; Higinbotham, Dougas W. ; Hyde, Charles ; ... - Proceedings of Science

The neutron's deep-inelastic structure functions provide essential information for the flavor separation of the nucleon parton densities, the nucleon spin decomposition, and precision studies of QCD phenomena in the flavor-singlet and nonsinglet sectors. Traditional inclusive measurements on nuclear targets are limited by dilution from scattering on protons, Fermi motion and binding effects, final-state interactions, and nuclear shadowing at x ll 0.1. An Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) would enable next-generation measurements of neutron structure with polarized deuteron beams and detection of forward-moving spectator protons over a wide range of recoil momenta (0 < p(R) < several 100MeV in the nucleus rest frame).more »« less

Tagged spectator DIS off a polarized spin-1 target

Conference Cosyn, Wim ; Sargsian, Misak ; Weiss, Christian - Proceedings of Science

We discuss the process of deep-inelastic electron scattering (DIS) on the polarized deuteron with detection of a nucleon in the nuclear fragmentation region ('spectator tagging'). We cover (a) the general structure of the DIS cross section; (b) the structure functions of the process in the impulse approximation using deuteron light-front wave functions; (c) the extraction of free neutron structure by extracting the residue of observables at the free nucleon pole ('pole extrapolation'). As an application we consider the extraction of the free neutron structure function g1n through polarized electron scattering on the longitudinally polarized deuteron with proton tagging and on-shellmore »« less

Polarized electron-deuteron deep-inelastic scattering with spectator nucleon tagging

Journal Article Cosyn, W. ; Weiss, C. - Physical Review. C

Background: Deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) on the polarized deuteron with detection of a proton in the nuclear breakup region (spectator tagging) represents a unique method for extracting the neutron spin structure functions and studying nuclear modifications. The tagged proton momentum controls the nuclear configuration during the DIS process and enables a differential analysis of nuclear effects. Such measurements could be performed with the future electron-ion collider (EIC) and forward proton detectors if deuteron beam polarization could be achieved. Purpose: Develop a theoretical framework for polarized deuteron DIS with spectator tagging. Formulate practical procedures for neutron spin structure extraction. Methods: A covariantmore »« less

DIS on Light Nuclei with Spectator Tagging: New Applications at Intermediate and Small x

Conference Weiss, Christian - EPJ Web Conf.

An Electron-Ion Collider would enable next-generation measurements of DIS on light nuclei (deuteron, 3He, ...) with detection of nucleons and fragments in the nuclear fragmentation region ("spectator tagging"). Such measurements allow one to control the nuclear configuration during the high-energy process and could greatly advance our understanding in several areas of partonic structure and QCD: (a) precision measurements of neutron structure functions (including spin) in electron-deuteron scattering with proton tagging, eliminating nuclear binding through on-shell extrapolation in the recoil proton momentum; (b) controlled studies of the nuclear modifications of quark and gluon densities (EMC effect, anti-shadowing), using the recoil momentummore »« less
