Strong Interaction Physics at the Luminosity Frontier with 22 GeV Electrons at Jefferson Lab
A. Accardi, P. Achenbach, D. Adhikari +441
This document presents the initial scientific case for upgrading the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at Jefferson Lab (JLab) to 22 GeV. It is the result of a…
The case for an EIC Theory Alliance: Theoretical Challenges of the EIC
Raktim Abir, Igor Akushevich, Tolga Altinoluk +167
We outline the physics opportunities provided by the Electron Ion Collider (EIC). These include the study of the parton structure of the nucleon and nuclei, the onset of gluon satu…
The Present and Future of QCD
P. Achenbach, D. Adhikari, A. Afanasev +400
This White Paper presents the community inputs and scientific conclusions from the Hot and Cold QCD Town Meeting that took place September 23-25, 2022 at MIT, as part of the Nuclea…
A new direct detection electron scattering experiment to search for the X17 particle
D. Dutta, H. Gao, A. Gasparian +57
A new electron scattering experiment (E12-21-003) to verify and understand the nature of hidden sector particles, with particular emphasis on the so-called X17 particle, has been a…
Physical Implications of the Extrapolation and Statistical Bootstrap of the Nucleon Structure Function Ratio for Mirror Nuclei He and H
Hannah Valenty, Jennifer Rittenhouse West, Fatiha Benmokhtar +3
A nuclear physics example of statistical bootstrap is used on the MARATHON data nucleon structure function ratio, , in the quark momentum fraction $x_B\rightar…
Searching for an Enhanced Signal of the onset of Color Transparency in Baryons with D(e,e'p)n scattering
Shujie Li, Carlos Yero, Jennifer Rittenhouse West +5
Observation of the onset of color transparency in baryons would provide a new means of studying the nuclear strong force and would be the first clear evidence of baryons transformi…
Quantum Chromodynamics Resolution of the ATOMKI Anomaly in Nuclear Transitions
Valery Kubarovsky, Jennifer Rittenhouse West, Stanley J. Brodsky
Observations of anomalous angular correlations in electron-positron pairs produced from excited states of He, Be and C nuclei have been suggested as due to the c…
SIDIS Measurement with A=3 Nuclei
Zhihong Ye, Dipangkar Dutta, Dave Gaskell +5
We introduce a new experimental effort at Jefferson Lab (JLab) to precisely measure the ratios of charged pion electroproduction in Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS)…
Quantum signatures in nonlinear gravitational waves
Thiago Guerreiro, Francesco Coradeschi, Antonia Micol Frassino +2
The effective quantum field theory description of gravity, despite its non-renormalizability, allows for predictions beyond classical general relativity. As we enter the age of gra…
Can we detect the quantum nature of weak gravitational fields?
Francesco Coradeschi, Antonia Micol Frassino, Thiago Guerreiro +2
A theoretical framework for the quantization of gravity has been an elusive Holy Grail since the birth of quantum theory and general relativity. While generations of scientists hav…
Neutron Spin Structure from e-3He Scattering with Double Spectator Tagging at the Electron-Ion Collider
Ivica Friscic, Dien Nguyen, Jackson Pybus +9
The spin structure function of the neutron is traditionally determined by measuring the spin asymmetry of inclusive electron deep inelastic scattering (DIS) off polarized3He nuclei…
Diquark Induced Short-Range Nucleon-Nucleon Correlations \& the EMC Effect
Jennifer Rittenhouse West
Diquark formation across a short-range nucleon-nucleon pair is proposed as the underlying QCD physics of short-range correlations (SRC) in nuclei. SRC pairs have been proposed as t…
QCD Hidden-Color Hexa-diquark in the Central Core of Nuclei
Jennifer Rittenhouse West, Stanley J. Brodsky, Guy F. de Teramond +2
Hidden-color configurations are a key prediction of QCD with important physical consequences. In this work we examine a QCD color-singlet configuration in nuclei formed by combinin…
Symmetries, Dark Matter and Minicharged Particles
Jennifer Rittenhouse West
This theoretical particle physics thesis is an investigation into old and new symmetries of Nature. Known symmetries and conservation laws serve as a guide for dark and visible sec…
Diffractive Dissociation of Alpha Particles as a Test of Isophobic Short-Range Correlations inside Nuclei
Jennifer Rittenhouse West, Stanley J. Brodsky, Guy F. de Téramond +1
The CLAS collaboration at Jefferson Laboratory has compared nuclear parton distributions for a range of nuclear targets and found that the EMC effect measured in deep inelastic lep…
Statistical challenges in the search for dark matter
Sara Algeri, Melissa van Beekveld, Nassim Bozorgnia +19
The search for the particle nature of dark matter has given rise to a number of experimental, theoretical and statistical challenges. Here, we report on a number of these statistic…
Millicharged Scalar Fields, Massive Photons and the Breaking of
Jennifer Rittenhouse West
Under the assumption that the current epoch of the Universe is not special, i.e. is not the final state of a long history of processes in particle physics, the cosmological fate of…
Asymmetric Dark Matter and Baryogenesis from
Bartosz Fornal, Yuri Shirman, Tim M. P. Tait +1
We propose a theory in which the Standard Model gauge symmetry is extended by a new group acting nontrivially on the lepton sector which is spontaneously broken at the…
