Polarized 𝐽/𝜓 production in semi-inclusive DIS at large 𝑄 2 : Comparing quark fragmentation and photon-gluon fusion

We compare the relative importance of different mechanisms for polarized 𝐽/𝜓 production in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering processes at large 𝑄 2 . The transverse momentum dependent (TMD) factorization framework and nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics are used to study the leading contributions from light quark fragmentation to polarized 𝐽/𝜓, and compared to direct production via photon-gluon fusion, which can proceed through color-singlet as well as color-octet mechanisms. We identify kinematic regimes where light quark fragmentation dominates, allowing for the extraction of the 3 𝑆$^{[8]}_{1}$ matrix element, as well as regimes where photon gluon fusion dominates, suggesting that the gluon TMD parton distribution function can be probed.

Direct quarkonium production in DIS from a joint CGC and NRQCD framework

We compute the differential cross section for direct quarkonium production in high-energy electron-nucleus collisions at small 𝑥. Our computation is performed within the nonrelativistic QCD factorization formalism that separates the calculation into short distance coefficients and long distance matrix elements that depend on the color and spin of the state. We obtain the short distance coefficients of the production of the heavy quark pair within the framework of the color glass condensate effective field theory, which resums coherent multiple interactions of the heavy quark pair with the nucleus to all orders. Our results are expressed as the convolution of perturbatively calculable functions with multipoint lightlike Wilson line correlators. In the correlation limit, we establish the correspondence between our color glass condensate formulation with calculations employing the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) framework. We extend this correspondence by resumming kinematic power corrections within the improved TMD framework, which interpolates between the TMD formalism and 𝑘 ⊥ -factorization formalism. We present a detailed numerical analysis, focusing on 𝐽/𝜓 production in the kinematics accessible at the future Electron-Ion Collider, highlighting the importance of genuine higher-order saturation contributions when the electron collides with a large nucleus. Our results are also valid in the photoproduction limit where we expect the largest contribution from genuine higher-order saturation contributions which could be accessed in ultraperipheral collisions of relativistic heavy ions.

Sudakov double logs in single-inclusive hadron production in DIS at small x from the color glass condensate formalism

We investigate the high Q 2 (photon virtuality) limit of single-inclusive hadron production in deep inelastic scattering at small x , using the color glass condensate formalism at next-to-leading order. We focus on the Λ QCD 2 ≪ p h 2 ≪ Q 2 kinematic regime, where p h is the produced hadron transverse momentum, and extract the Sudakov double logarithms. We further argue that compatibility between the color glass condensate calculation and transverse momentum dependent distribution factorization at one-loop order can only be achieved if the small-x evolution is kinematically constrained.

Understanding the EMC effect with tagged DIS measurements

Understanding the modification of quarks in nucleons within nuclei (EMC effect) is a longstanding open question in nuclear physics. Recent experimental results from electron scattering at Jefferson Lab strengthen the correlation between the EMC effect and short- range correlated pairs (SRC) of nucleons in nuclei. That means that the EMC effect is probably driven by the high-momentum highly-virtual nucleons of the SRC pairs. This connection can be tested experimentally by measuring electron deep inelastic scattering from a nucleon and detecting its correlated SRC partner nucleon (tagging). This allows us to measure the quark modification of high-momentum nucleons. Two tagged experiments on deuterium are underway at Jefferson Lab of which one already took data and the other will take data in the upcoming years. In my talk, I will present the current knowledge of the EMC effect and its correlation to SRC pair and the status of the tagged measurements at Jefferson Lab.

Bayesian Inference of the Fluctuating Proton Shape in DIS and Hadronic Collisions

We determine the likelihood distribution for the model parameters describing the event-by-event fluctuating proton geometry at small $x$ by performing a Bayesian analysis within the Color Glass Condensate framework. The exclusive J/ψ production data from HERA is found to constrain the model parameters well, and we demonstrate that complementary constraints can be obtained from simulations of Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC.

Neutrino(antineutrino)–nucleus interactions in the shallow- and deep-inelastic scattering regions

In $\nu /\bar{\nu }$–nucleon/nucleus interactions shallow inelastic scattering ($\text{SIS}$) is technically defined in terms of the four-momentum transfer to the hadronic system as non-resonant meson production with $Q^2 \lessapprox 1 \text {GeV}^2$. This non-resonant meson production intermixes with resonant meson production in a regime of similar effective hadronic mass W of the interaction. As $Q^2$ grows and surpasses this $ ≈1 \text{GeV}^2$ limit, non-resonant interactions begin to take place with quarks within the nucleon indicating the start of deep inelastic scattering ($\text{DIS}$). To essentially separate this resonant plus non-resonant meson production from $\text{DIS}$ quark-fragmented meson production, a cut of 2 $\text{GeV}$ in W of the interactions is generally introduced. However, since experimentally mesons from resonance decay cannot be separated from non-resonant produced mesons, $\text{SIS}$ for all practical purposes in this review has been defined as inclusive meson production that includes non-resonant plus resonant meson production and the interference between them. Experimentally then for $W \lessapprox 2 \text{GeV}$ inclusive meson production with $W \gtrapprox (M_N + M_π)$ and all $Q^2$ is here defined as $\text{SIS}$, while for $W \gtrapprox 2 \text {GeV}$, the kinematic region with $Q^2 \gtrapprox 1 \text{GeV}^2$ is defined as DIS$\text{DIS}$degrees of attention from the community. While the theoretical/phenomenological study of $\nu$–nucleon and $\nu$–nucleus $\text{DIS}$ scattering is advanced, such studies of a large portion of the $\text{SIS}$ region, particularly the $\text{SIS}$ to $\text{DIS}$ transition region, have hardly begun. Experimentally, the $\text{SIS}$ and the $\text{DIS}$ regions for $\nu$–nucleon scattering have minimal results and only in the experimental study of the $\nu$–nucleus $\text{DIS}$ region are there significant results for some nuclei. Inasmuch as current and future neutrino oscillation experiments have contributions from both higher $W \text{SIS}$ and $\text{DIS}$ kinematic regions and these regions are in need of both considerable theoretical and experimental study, this review will concentrate on these $\text{SIS}$ to $\text{DIS}$ transition and $\text{DIS}$ kinematic regions surveying our knowledge and the current challenges.
