Description
The CD-0 approval granted by the U.S. Department of Energy for the construction of an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is a critical step forward in an ambitious and impactful international high-energy nuclear physics program. The production and propagation of long-lived heavy subatomic particles is a unique and critical part of its research portfolio. The study of heavy quarks, charm and bottom, can be accomplished by measuring the elementary particles that contain them, D-mesons and B-mesons. Heavy flavor jets provide key insights into the effect of mass on the formation of parton showers. Topics that this workshop will cover include:
- Nucleon and nuclear structure: At the EIC, heavy quarks are produced from gluons carrying a large relative fraction of the nucleon's momentum xB. They can help pin down the poorly known strange, charm, bottom, and gluon content of nucleons and nuclei at moderate and large Bjorken-x. Such advances are not only central to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), but also necessary to ensure percent level precision in the evaluation of backgrounds for Beyond the Standard Model searches at collider experiments.
- Energy loss and hadronization: Heavy flavor production is also an essential part of the e+A program at the EIC. It can provide insights into the space-time picture of hadronization that are simply not possible with light hadrons. Measurements of open heavy flavor modification can place tight constraints on the opacities of nuclear matter and transport properties of large nuclei.
- Lessons from HERA and the Hadron colliders: The physics program at the EIC will greatly benefit from the lessons learned at HERA and the tremendous expertise of the DIS community. At the same time the LHC and RHIC have brought about new theoretical and experimental developments. Our intent is to summarize those advances, explore the synergies with the EIC, and use them as a stepping stone to ensure maximum impact of open heavy flavor measurements.
- Instrumentation and detector requirements: Instrumentation at mid and forward rapidities at the EIC is absolutely critical for the precise measurements of heavy flavor mesons, baryons, and jets. In this workshop, we will have a dedicated session to discuss and refine the detector requirements for the future heavy flavor and jet measurements at the EIC, improve existing simulation tools, and forge collaborations.
Due to the COVID-19 virus, we will hold the workshop online using Zoom
Talks for this workshop mainly via invitation.
This event is part of the CFNS workshop/ad-hoc meeting series. See the CFNS conferences page for other events.
