Transverse-spin dependent energy-energy correlators in proton-proton collisions within the dihadron fragmentation framework

Zhong-Bo Kang, Andreas Metz, Daniel Pitonyak +1

We calculate energy-energy correlations for two hadrons produced inside a jet in transversely polarized proton-proton collisions. We make numerical predictions based on a simple mo…

Exploring nuclear modification using one-point energy correlator at the electron-ion collider

Yu Fu, Zhong-Bo Kang, Jani Penttala +1

We study the one-point energy correlator (OPEC) at both the back-to-back and collinear limits in electron-proton and electron-nucleus collisions. We provide the factorization forma…

Parton distributions in the shockwave formalism

Shohini Bhattacharya, Chuan-Qi He, Zhong-Bo Kang +2

In this work, we calculate a broad class of parton distributions - including parton distribution functions (PDFs), transverse-momentum-dependent distributions (TMDs), generalized p…

Matching collinear factorization with color-glass condensate for inclusive and exclusive deep inelastic scattering

Shohini Bhattacharya, Chuan-Qi He, Zhong-Bo Kang +2

Collinear factorization and color-glass condensate (CGC) effective field theory are generally treated as separate approaches for calculating scattering amplitudes, valid in differe…

Simplified approach to extracting nucleon transversity in collinear factorization using near-side energy-energy correlators

Zhong-Bo Kang, Andreas Metz, Daniel Pitonyak +1

We develop a novel strategy for accessing the transversity parton distribution function (PDF) of the nucleon within collinear factorization using near-side energy-energy correlator…

Accessing nucleon transversity with one-point energy correlators

Mei-Sen Gao, Zhong-Bo Kang, Wanchen Li +1

We propose a novel probe of the nucleon's transversity distribution, , using the one-point energy correlator (OPEC), an infrared-and-collinear safe jet substructure observab…
