  9. c D mesons c D mesons Polarized gluon distribution via charm production very clean process ! LO QCD: asymmetry in D production directly proportional to G/G

  10. Polarized gluon distribution via charm production problems:luminosity, charm cross section, background !

  11. Polarized gluon distribution via charm production Precise determination of  G/G for 0.003 < xg < 0.4 at common Q2 of 10 GeV2 however RHIC SPIN

  12. Precise determination of  G/G for 0.003 < xg < 0.4 at common Q2 of 10 GeV2 Polarized gluon distribution via charm production • 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 ()

  14. g1 and the Bjorken Sum Rule

  15. Bjorken Sum Rule:Γ1p - Γ1n = 1/6 gA [1+Ο(αs)] Needs: O(1%) Ion Polarimetry!!! Holy Grail: excellent determination of as(Q2) • Sub-1% statistical precision at ELIC • (averaged over all Q2) • 7% (?) in unmeasured region, in future • constrained by data and lattice QCD • 3-4% precision at various values of Q2

  28. Sivers effect: Kaon electroproduction EIC CLAS12 • 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.
