What is the EIC ? What is the EIC ? Electron Ion Collider as the ultimate QCD machine
Variable center of mass energy between 20 and 100 GeV High luminosity Polarized electron and proton (deuteron, 3He) beams Ion beams up to A=208
Explore the new QCD frontier:strong color fields in
nuclei
Precisely image the sea-quarks and gluons in the
nucleon
ERL-based eRHIC Design
Electron energy range from 3 to 20 GeV Peak luminosity of 2.6 1033 cm-2s-
high electron beam polarization (~80%) full polarization transparency at all energies multiple electron-hadron interaction points 5 meter “element-free” straight section(s) ability to take full advantage of electron
cooling of the hadron beams; easy variation of the electron bunch frequency
to match the ion bunch frequency at different ion energies.

If: • We can measure the scattered electron even at angles close to 00
(determination of photon kinematics)• We can separate the primary and secondary vertex down to about 100 m• We understand the fragmentation of charm quarks ()• We can control the contributions of resolved photons• We can calculate higher order QCD corrections ()

gg11 and the Bjorken Sum Rule and the Bjorken Sum Rule
Bjorken Sum Rule: Γ1p - Γ1
n = 1/6 gA
[1+Ο(αs)]
• 7% (?) in unmeasured region, in future
constrained by data and lattice QCD
• 3-4% precision at various values of Q2
Needs:O(1%) Ion Polarimetry!!!
Holy Grail: excellentdetermination of s(Q2)
• Sub-1% statistical precision at ELIC(averaged over all Q2)

• The Bjorken Sum Rule
• G from charm production
Sivers effect: Kaon electroproduction
•At small x of EIC Kaon relative rates higher, making it ideal place to study the Sivers asymmetry in Kaon production (in particular K-). •Combination with CLAS12 data will provide almost complete x-range.

Summary
EIC is the ideal machine to provide the final answers on the structure of the proton, especially in the region where ea quarks and gluons dominate
It will allow to :
• measure precisely the gluon distribution at low x and moderate Q2• determine the polarized sea quark distributions in the nucleon • map out the polarized gluon distribution in the nucleon• perform a precision test of the Bjorken Sum Rule ---> s• do gluon “tomography” via exclusive processes• determine transverse spin effects and orbital momenta• provide a understanding of the fragmentation process
• + investigate the low x phyiscs of saturation in the nucleus
