With the project to build a future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) in the USA, equipped with a new state-of-the-art detector (ePIC), we are now preparing for the next step in precision studies of QCD.
The EIC will be the only new high-energy collider world-wide in the next twenty-thirty years. Electrons and ions, from p up to U, will collide at high luminosity on a large range of center-of-mass...
J/ψ-pair production at the LHC is currently the most promising tool to probe the unknown gluon transverse momentum distributions. Data from LHCb at low transverse momenta was already available and recently more data has been released.
In this presentation, I will revise previous theoretical results by discussing predictions of transverse-momentum distributions at invariant J/ψ-pair masses...
Abstract
In this talk we discuss how multi parton interactions (MPI), usually studied in hadron-hadron collisions, e.g. at the LHC, could be observed also at the future Electron Ion Collider (EIC). As we will show, MPI studies could represent an additional ”synergy” between LHC and EIC aimed to investigate the partonic structure of hadrons. Our first
analysis [3] has been inspired by the...
The underlying event in photon-initiated processes has been investigated. This has been extensively studied in proton-proton ($pp$) and proton-antiproton ($p\bar{p}$) collisions where models of the underlying event can describe data in such collisions over a wide phase-space, including the large range in energy. This leads to a single set of parameters for a given model that can be used to...
