  1. eRHIC: Physics, Design & Status A Abhay Deshpande RIKEN BNL Research Center at BNL RIKEN High pT Workshop December 5th , 2003

  2. Some spin & Low x-high Q2 surprises… • Stern & Gehrlach (1921) Space: quantization associated with direction • Goudschmidt & Ulhenbeck (1926): Atomic fine structure & electron spin magnetic moment • Stern (1933) Proton anomalous magnetic moment 2.79 mN • Kusch(1947) Electron anomalous • magnetic moment 1.00119m0 • Prescott & Yale-SLAC Collaboration (1978) EW interference in polarized e-d DIS, parity non-conservation • European Muon Collaboration (1988/9) Spin Crisis/Puzzle Transverse single spin asymmetries: E704, AGS pp scattering, HERMES (1990s) RHIC Spin (2001) >> single spin neutron production(PHENIX) >> pion production (STAR) at 200 GeV Sqrt(S) • Elastic e-p scattering at SLAC (1950s)  Q2 ~ 1 GeV2  Finite size of the proton • Inelastic e-p scattering at SLAC (1960s) Q2 > 1 GeV2  Parton structure of the proton • Inelastic mu-p scattering off p/d/N at CERN (1980s) Q2 > 1 GeV2  Unpolarized EMC effect, nuclear shadowing? • Inelastic e-p scattering at HERA/DESY (1990s) Q2 > 1 GeV2 •  Unexpected rise of F2 at low x •  Diffraction in e-p •  Saturation(??) Further, we now are wiser in planning a detector design to observe these new/surprising physics! A facility that does both would be ideal…. Abhay Deshpande

  3. Deep Inelastic Scattering [1] [2] [3] • Observe scattered electron/muon & hadrons in current jets • Observe spectator or remnant jet • >> suitably designed detector… Lumi [1]+[2]+[3]  [3] exclusive [1]+[2]  [2] semi-inclusive [1]  [1] inclusive Abhay Deshpande

  4. Why Collider in the Future? • Past polarized DIS experiments: in fixed target mode • Collider has distinct advantages --- Confirmed at HERA • Better angular separation between scattered lepton & nuclear fragments  Better resolution of electromagnetic probe  Recognition of rapidity gap events (recent diffractive physics) • Better measurement of nuclear fragments • Higher center of mass (CoM) energies reachable • Tricky integration of beam pipe – interaction region -- detector Abhay Deshpande

  5. 5-10 GeV static e-ring up to 10 GeV injector RHIC e-cooling EBIS BOOSTER AGS LINAC Proposal under consideration eRHIC at BNL A high energy, high intensity polarized electron/positron beam facility at BNL to collide with the existing RHIC heavy ion and polarized proton beam would significantly enhance RHIC’s ability to probe fundamental and universal aspects of QCD • Linac+e-ring+RHIC • Linac+Ring Design (backup) • Linac+e-ring outside RHIC tunnel • Main design 10 GeV e beams, • 5 GeV possible • e-facility OUTSIDE the RHIC tunnel • Operations do NOT interfere with • RHIC operations Abhay Deshpande

  6. eRHIC vs. Other DIS Facilities (I) • New kinematic region • Ee = 5-10 GeV • Ep = 30 – 250 GeV • Sqrt(s) = ~25 – 100 GeV • Kinematic reach of eRHIC x = 10-4 ~0.7 (Q2 > 1 GeV2) Q2 = 0  104 GeV • Polarized e, p and light ion beams -- ~70% • Heavy ion beams of ALL elements! • High Luminosity L > (at least) 1033cm-2 sec-1 eRHIC DIS Abhay Deshpande

  7. eRHIC vs. Other DIS Facilities eRHIC: >> Variable beam energy >> p  U hadron beams >> Light Ion polarization >> Large Luminosity >> Huge Kinematic reach ELIC:electron-light ion collider at Jlab >> Variable beam energy >> Light Ion polarization >> Huge Luminosity ELIC-Jlab TESLA-N eRHIC Abhay Deshpande

  8. Scientific Frontiers Open to eRHIC • Nucleon Structure: polarized & unpolarized e-p/n scattering -- Role of quarks and gluons in the nucleon >> Unpolarized quark & gluon distributions, confinement in nucleons >> Spin structure: polarized quark & gluon distributions -- Correlation between partons >> hard exclusive processes leading to Generalized Parton Distributions (GPD’s) • Meson Structure: -- Mesons are goldstone bosons and play a fundamental role in QCD • Nuclear structure: unpolarized e-A scattering -- Role of quarks and gluons in nuclei, confinement in nuclei -- e-p vs. e-A physics in comparison and variability of A: from dU • Hadronization in nucleons and nuclei& effect of nuclear media -- How do partons knocked out of nucleon in DIS evolve in to colorless hadrons? • Partonic matter under extreme conditions -- e-A vs. e-p scattering; study as a function of A Abhay Deshpande

  9. Unpolarized DIS e-p at eRHIC • Large(r) kinematic region already covered at HERA but additional studies at eRHIC are possible & desirable • Uniqueness of eRHIC: high luminosity, variable Sqrt(s), He3 beam, improved detector & interaction region • Will enable precision physics: -- He3 beams  neutron structure  d/u as x0, dbar(x)-ubar(d) -- precision measurement of aS(Q2) -- precision photo-production physics -- precision gluon distribution in x=0.001 to x=0.6 -- slopes in dF2/dlnQ2 (Transition: QCD-to-pQCD & low x) -- flavor separation (charm and strangeness) -- exclusive reaction measurements -- nuclear fragmentation region measurements [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] [2] [2,3] [2,3] Luminosity Requirement Abhay Deshpande

  10. Polarized DIS at eRHIC [1] [1] [1] [1] [1,2] [1] [1,2] [3] [1] [1] [2,3] • Spin structure functions g1 (p,n) at low x, high precision -- g1(p-n): Bjorken Spin sum rule better than 1% accuracy • Polarized gluon distribution function DG(x,Q2) -- at least three different experimental methods • Precision measurement of aS(Q2) from g1 scaling violations • Polarized s.f. of the photon from photo-production • Electroweak s. f. g5 via W+/- production • Flavor separation of PDFs through semi-inclusive DIS • Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) >> Gerneralized Parton Distributions (GPDs) • Transversity • Drell-Hern-Gerasimov spin sum rule test at high n • Target/Current fragmentation studies • … etc…. Luminosity Requirement Abhay Deshpande

  11. Our knowledge of structure functions g1 F2 105 10 103 10 1 102 Q2 (GeV2) Q2 (GeV2) Abhay Deshpande

  12. Proton g1(x,Q2) low x eRHIC Fixed target experiments 1989 – 1999 Data eRHIC 250 x 10 GeV Luminosity = ~85 inv. pb/day 10 days of eRHIC run Assume: 70% Machine Eff. 70% Detector Eff. Studies included statistical error & detector smearing to confirm that asymmetries are measurable. No present or future approved experiment will be able to make this measurement Abhay Deshpande

  13. Low x measurement of g1 of Neutron • With polarized He3 • ~ 2 weeks of data at eRHIC • Compared with SMC(past) & possible HERA data • If combined with g1 of proton results in Bjorken sum rule test of better than 1-2% within a couple of months of running EIC 1 inv.fb Abhay Deshpande

  14. Polarized Gluon Measurement at eRHIC • This is the hottest of the experimental measurements being pursued at various experimental facilities: -- HERMES/DESY, COMPASS/CERN, RHIC-Spin/BNL & E159/E160 at SLAC -- Reliability from applicability of pQCD without doubt leaves only RHIC • Measurements at eRHIC will be complimentary with RHIC • Deep Inelastic Scattering kinematics at eRHIC -- Scaling violations (pQCD analysis at NLO) of g1 First moment of DG -- (2+1) jet production in photon-gluon-fusion process  -- 2-high pT hadron production in PGF  • Photo-production (real photon) kinematics at eRHIC -- Single and di-jet production in PGF -- Open charm production in PGF Shape of DG(x) Abhay Deshpande

  15. Photon Gluon Fusion at eRHIC • “Direct” determination of DG -- Di-Jet events: (2+1)-jet events -- High pT hadrons • High Sqrt(s) at eRHIC -- no theoretical ambiguities regarding interpretation of data • Both methods tried at HERA in un-polarized gluon determination & both are successful! -- NLO calculations exist -- H1 and ZEUS results -- Consistent with scaling violation F2 results on G Signal: PGF Background QCD Compton Abhay Deshpande

  16. Polarized PDFs of the Photons • Photo-production studies with single and di-jet • Photon Gluon Fusion or Gluon Gluon Fusion (Photon resolves in to its partonic contents) • Resolved photon asymmetries result in measurements of spin structure of the photon • Asymmetries sensitive to gluon polarization as well… but we will consider the gluon polarization “a known” quantity! Direct Photon Resolved Photon Abhay Deshpande

  17. Parity Violating Structure Function g5 • This is also a test • Experimental signature is a huge • asymmetry in detector (neutrino) • Unique measurement • Unpolarized xF3 measurements • at HERA in progress • Will access heavy quark • distribution in polarized DIS For eRHIC kinematics Abhay Deshpande

  18. Highlights of e-A Physics at eRHIC • Study of e-A physics in Collider mode for the first time • QCD in a different environment • Clarify & reinforce physics studied so far in fixed target e-A & m-A experiments including target fragmentation QCD in: x > [1/(2mNRN) ] ~ 0.1 (high x) QCD in: [1/(2mNRA)] < x < [1/(2mNRN)] ~ 0.1 (medium x) Quark/Gluon shadowing Nuclear medium dependence of hadronization • …. And extend in to a very low x region to explore: saturation effects or high density partonic matter also called the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) QCD in: x < [1/(2mNRA)] ~ 0.01 (low x) Abhay Deshpande See: www.bnl.gov/eic for further details

  19. E665, NMC, SLAC Experiments DIS in Nuclei is Different! Regions of: • Fermi smearing • EMC effect • Enhancement • Shadowing • Saturation? Regions of shadowing and saturation mostly around Q2 ~1 GeV2 An e-A collision at eRHIC can be at significantly higher Q2 F2D/F2A Low Q2! Abhay Deshpande

  20. Statistical Precision at eRHIC for e-A • High precision at eRHIC shown statistical errors for 1 pb-1 • Recall: eRHIC will ~85 pb-1 per day • NMC data F2(Sn/D) • eRHIC’s Q2 range between 1 and 10 GeV2 • Will explore saturation region! eRHIC Abhay Deshpande

  21. The Saturation Region… • As parton densities grow, standard pQCD break down. • Even though coupling is weak, physics may be non-perturbative due to high field strengths generated by large number of partons. • A new state of matter??? An e-A collider/detector experiment with high luminosity and capability to have different species of nuclei in the same detector would be ideal…  Need the eRHIC at BNL Abhay Deshpande

  22. E. Iancu, J.J-MarianL. McLerran,R. Venugopalan, et al. A Color Glass Condensate?? • At small x, partons are rapidly fluctuating gluons interacting weakly with each other, but still strongly coupled to the high x parton color charges which act as random static sources of COLOR charge  Analogous to spin GLASS systems in condensed matter: a disordered spin state coupled to random magnetic impurities • Gluon occupation number large, being bosons they can occupy the same state to form a CONDENSATE  Bose Einstein condensate leads to a huge over population of ground states • A new “state matter”(??): Color Glass Condensate (CGC) at high energy density would display dramatically different, yet simple properties of glassy condensates And now Color Quantum Liquid!!! (CQL)??? Abhay Deshpande

  23. Signatures of Saturation/CGC (I) • Structure functions F2(x,Q2), dF2/dlnQ2, dF2/dlnx - dF2/dlnQ2 at fixed x at high Q2 is the gluon distribution - CGC vs. conventional pQCD predict very different - Gluon measurements using semi-inclusive… di-jet final states - eRHIC will differentiate them easily for protons and heavy nuclei • Longitudinal structure function FL = F2 – 2xF1 - Provide independent gluon distribution measurement - Needs variable electron beam energy  Possible at eRHIC • Measurement of nuclear shadowing - Quark shadowing (F2A/A*F2N) in fixed target experiments observed - Gluon shadowing (GA/A*GN) indirect evidence only… pQCD at NLO - This is expected to be severe at low x and high Q2 - Ideal measurement for eRHIC Spin vs. un-polarized measurements in same detector Abhay Deshpande

  24. Signatures of CGC (II) • Shadowing and diffraction: Relation between nuclear shadowing and diffraction will be very different at high parton density media… eRHIC will study this systematically as a function of A of the nuclei. • Hard Diffraction Large rapidity gap between current and target fragmentation region. At HERA 7% cross section diffractive. In e-A at eRHIC, diffractive processes may contribute 30-40% to the total cross section. • Coherent & Inclusive vector meson production: For light vector mesons diff. Cross section. = 0.5 (inclusive) Heavy vector mesons this decreases…finally reaching 1/lnQ2 eRHIC will measure for different nuclei, r,w,f,J/y,U cross sections Detector: emphasis for forward physics! Abhay Deshpande

  26. A Detector for eRHIC  A 4p Detector • Scattered electrons to measure kinematics of DIS • Scattered electrons at small (~zero degrees) to tag photo production • Central hadronic final state for kinematics, jet measurements, quark flavor tagging, fragmentation studies, particle ID • Central hard photon and particle/vector detection (DVCS) • ~Zero angle photon measurement to control radiative corrections and in e-A physics to tag nuclear de-excitations • Missing ET for neutrino final states (W decays) • Forward tagging for 1) nuclear fragments, 2) diffractive physics • “At least one” second detector could be “rolled” in from time to time…. …under consideration • eRHIC will provide: 1) Variable beam energies 2) different hadronic species, some of them polarization, 3) high luminosity Abhay Deshpande
