105. EIC in the US: Status of the Project and Outlook of the 3D Nucleon Structure Program

Rolf Ent (Jefferson Lab)

12/14/17, 9:00 AM

The interior landscape of nucleons includes a strong-force driven sea of quarks, antiquarks and gluons, with a net surplus of a few ever-present valence quarks. In order to understand how the properties and structure of all forms of nuclear matter emerge from the dynamics of QCD, it is essential to precisely image the gluons and quarks, and to understand the role they and their interactions...

101. Prospects for measurements of gluon TDMs

Daniel Boer (University of Groningen)

12/14/17, 9:40 AM

Transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs) are currently under active investigation, both theoretically and experimentally. For studies of the gluon TMDs higher energy and smaller x values are required, and often processes involving almost back-to-back high-pt particles. These processes can be studied in the required kinematic regime at the high energy hadron colliders RHIC and...

77. A proposal for a polarised target at LHCb

Luciano Libero Pappalardo (INFN Ferrara)

12/14/17, 10:05 AM

A polarized fixed-target experiment at LHC will open the way for a broad and unique physics program. The kinematic coverage will also allow to study the negative-rapidity region in the CM, corresponding to the poorly explored high x-Bjorken domain for the target proton. Furthermore, the use of a polarized H or D gas will allow precision measurements of spin-asymmetries in Drell-Yan and in...
