Accessing the gluon Sivers function at a future electron-ion collider
Abstract
In this paper, we present a systematic study on the feasibility of probing the largely unexplored transverse momentum dependent gluon Sivers function (GSF) in open charm production, high pT charged di-hadron and di-jet production at a future high energy, high luminosity Electron-Ion Col- lider (EIC). The Sivers function is a measure for the anisotropy of the parton distributions in momentum space inside a transversely polarized nucleon. It is proposed that it can be studied through single spin asymmetries in the photon-gluon fusion subprocess in electron proton collisions at the EIC. Using a well tuned Monte Carlo model for deep inelastic scattering, we estimate the possible constraints of the GSF from the future EIC data. A comparison of all the accessible mea- surements illustrates that the di-jet channel is the most promising way to constrain the magnitude of the GSF over a wide kinematic range.
