Higher twists effects in DIS on nuclei at the EIC and LHeC: A phenomenological analysis

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the impact of the higher - twist effects, resummed by the non - linear approaches for the QCD dynamics, on the inclusive observables that will be measured in future electron - ion colliders. We assume a phenomenological model for the dipole - nucleus scattering amplitude which takes into account the non - linear corrections and estimate the contribution of the different twists for $F_2^A(x,Q^2)$, $F_L^A(x,Q^2)$ and $\partial F_2^A/\partial ln{Q}^2$ considering different values of the Bjorken - $x$ variable, photon virtuality $Q^2$ and atomic number $A$. A comparison with the full predictions is performed and the impact of the distinct twists is estimated. Our results indicate that a future analysis of the logarithmic $Q^2$ slope and longitudinal structure function will allow us to probe the presence of the non - linear effects on the QCD dynamics.
