14. Electron Ion Collider: The next QCD frontier for Understanding the Glue that Binds Us All

Abhay Deshpande (Stony Brook University)

Despite many decades of theoretical and experimental effort around the world, some of the most important questions in QCD remain unanswered: How does a proton get its spin? What roles do spin alignment and orbital angular momenta of the gluons play in this? Similarly, on the high energy frontier: What happens to gluon densities of nucleons and nuclei at very high energy? Does the glue in...

15. eRHIC, Design of an Electron Ion Collider at Brookhaven Natl Laboratory

Ferdinand Willeke

13/10/2016, 15:00

Brookhaven National Laboratory is preparing a proposal for eRHIC, an electron ion collider with a peak luminosity of 10^33 cm^-2s^-1, upgradable to 10^34 cm-2s-1 and center of mass energies which range from 20 GeV to 140 GeV. ERHIC is designed to provide access to the entire Electron Ion collision physics program. A major component of eRHIC is the RHIC collider together with its injector...

7. Next-generation nuclear DIS: spectator tagging with light ions at an EIC

Wim Cosyn

14/10/2016, 13:45

An Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) would enable next-generation measurements of DIS on light nuclei (deuteron, 3He, ...) with detection of nucleons and fragments in the forward region and measurement of their recoil momentum ("spectator tagging"). Such experiments allow one to control the nuclear configuration during the high-energy process and could be used for (a) precision measurements of...

10. Particle identification for a future EIC detector

Pawel Nadel-Turonski

14/10/2016, 15:00

Particle identification (PID) is an essential capability for a future EIC detector, required for flavor tagging in SIDIS, background suppression for open charm, and other key parts of the physics program. The necessity of incorporating a wide range of PID systems for both hadron and lepton identification, with significant variations in requirements at different rapidities, also gives detectors...
