Opportunities for Imaging Light Nuclei with a Second Interaction Region at the Electron-Ion Collider
Wan Chang, Elke-Caroline Aschenauer, Alexander Jentsch +3
The upcoming Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will address several outstanding puzzles in modern nuclear physics. Key questions-such as the partonic structure of nucleons and nuclei and…
A Second EIC Detector: Physics Case and Conceptual Design
Jihee Kim, Cheuk-Ping Wong, Thomas Ullrich +18
This document is the closeout report for LDRD 23-050, a type-A LDRD project awarded in FY2022 under the title "A Second EIC Detector: Physics Case and Conceptual Design". The proje…
Projective Imaging of High-Energy Nuclei via Coherent Exclusive Vector Meson Production in Electron-Nucleus Collisions
Maci Kesler, Ashik Ikbal Sheikh, Rongrong Ma +3
One of the major goals of modern nuclear experiments is to study the distributions of gluons inside nuclei at high energy. A key measurement is the coherent exclusive vector meson…
Synergies between a U.S.-based Electron-Ion Collider and European Research in Particle Physics
Stefan Diehl, Raphaël Dupré, Olga Evdokimov +10
This document is submitted as input to the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update (ESPPU). The U.S.-based Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) aims at understanding how the complex d…
Tagging Efficiency Study of Incoherent Diffractive Vector Meson Production at the Second Interaction Region at the Electron-Ion Collider
Elke-Caroline Aschenauer, Alexander Bazilevsky, Alexander Jentsch +6
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is an upcoming accelerator facility aimed at exploring the properties of quarks and gluons in nucleons and nuclei, shedding light on their structure…
Entanglement Enabled Intensity Interferometry in ultrarelativistic ultraperipheral nuclear collisions
James Daniel Brandenburg, Haowu Duan, Zhoudunming Tu +2
An important tool in studying the sub-femtoscale spacetime structure of matter in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) intensity interferometry of id…
