In the high-luminosity era of the Large Hadron Collider, the instantaneous luminosity is expected to reach unprecedented values, resulting in up to 200 proton-proton interactions in a typical bunch crossing. To cope with the resulting increase in occupancy, bandwidth and radiation damage, the ATLAS Inner Detector will be replaced by an all-silicon system, the Inner Tracker (ITk). The innermost...
Recent advances in nuclear theory, QCD phenomenology and experiments at the future EIC could soon lead us to both penetrate and visualize the deep structure of visible matter, answering questions that could not even be afforded before. In particular, deeply virtual exclusive experiments are believed to be probes of the orbital angular momentum of the proton's constituents, as well as of its 3D...
Understanding nucleon structure in the valence region, where one quark carries a large fraction x of the nucleon momentum, is a fundamental goal in hadronic physics. Many models and theoretical predictions exist for the behavior of the ratio d(x)/u(x) of up over down quark densities, and for the intrinsic polarization of up and down quarks inside a polarized nucleon as x approaches...
