16. A self-consistent determination of proton and nuclear PDFs at the Electron Ion Collider

Juan Rojo (VU Amsterdam)

Hadron tomography

We quantify the potential impact of unpolarized lepton-proton and lepton-nucleus inclusive DIS cross sections measured at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) on the unpolarized proton and nuclear Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs). To this purpose we include neutral- and charged-current DIS pseudodata in a coherent set of global PDF determinations based on the NNPDF methodology. We find that the...

5. Improved constraints on nPDFs with nCTEQ

Fredrick Olness (SMU)

Hadron tomography

As we strive for higher precision Standard Model predictions, a
detailed knowledge of the PDFs is critical to interpret hadronic
processes at LHC and EIC. New data from both proton and heavy ion
beams can impose improved PDF constraints, as well as provide insights
as to the optimal means to organize the QCD expansion. The recently
released updates of the nCTEQ15 nPDFs reflect some of...

8. Probing the structure of exotic hadrons at the EIC

Matt Durham (Los Alamos National Laboratory)

Hadron tomography

The EIC will provide a powerful tool for discriminating between various models of exotic hadron structure. Exotics that hadronize inside the nucleus must pass through nuclear matter, where they can interact with other partons and be disrupted. The magnitude of this disruption is expected to depend on the radius/binding energy of the state. Thus, the nucleus can act as a filter that...

1. 3D proton tomography at the EIC: TMD gluon densities

Francesco Giovanni Celiberto (ECT*/FBK Trento & INFN-TIFPA)

26/01/2021, 11:50

We present explorative analyses of the 3D gluon content of the proton via a study of (un)polarized twist-2 gluon TMDs, calculated in a spectator model for the parent nucleon. Our approach encodes a flexible parametrization for the spectator-mass density, suited to describe both moderate and small-$x$ effects. All these prospective developments are relevant in the investigation of the gluon...

54. Quarkonium production and gluon TMDs at the EIC

Pieter Taels (Ecole Polytechnique)

7. EIC Impact Study on the Tensor Charge using TMDs from a Global Analysis of SSAs

Daniel Pitonyak (Lebanon Valley College)

26/01/2021, 12:20

Hadron tomography

The tensor charge is one of the fundamental charges of the nucleon and, arguably, the least known. This quantity sits at the intersection of three key areas of nuclear physics: 3-dimensional tomography of the nucleon, searches for beyond the Standard Model physics, and lattice QCD. In this talk I will report on a recent study of the impact of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) on the...

31. Toward a universal definition of TMD Fragmentation Functions

Andrea Simonelli (University of Torino and INFN Torino)

26/01/2021, 12:35

Hadron tomography

In semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS), the observables can be written in terms of two contributions: nucleon structure (i.e. the way partons are arranged in nucleons, encoded in the Transverse-Momentum Dependent Parton Distributions - TMD PDFs) and the mechanism of hadronization (encoded in the TMD Fragmentation Functions - TMD FFs). A reliable extraction of the former requires a...

4. Light-front holographic $\rho$-meson parton distribution functions

Ms Satvir Kaur (Dr BR Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar)

26/01/2021, 12:50

Hadron tomography

We present the leading-twist parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the $\rho$-meson in the light-front holographic model which are found to be in accord with the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model and the light-front quark model predictions. We further study the QCD evolution of the PDFs. The positivity bounds on the PDFs are also discussed.
