R(A/p) R=1 xF Cold Nuclear Matter (CNM) Physics NSAC Milestone: DM8 – “Determine gluon densities at low x in cold nuclei via p + Au or d + Au collisions.“ Q2 = 1.69 GeV2 nDS • Leading twist gluon shadowing • Coherence models & higher-twist (HT) shadowing • Small-x gluon saturation: 2 1 diagrams become important and deplete the low-x region; amplified in a nucleus. HKN07 EKS98 EPS09 EPS08 E866/NuSea, 800 GeV, J/Ψ p+W / p+Be ratio shadowing only x NSAC Milestone: DM12 – “…constrain the mechanism for parton energy loss in the quark-gluon plasma.” And what about energy loss in cold nuclear matter? R(W/Be) RGPb With energy loss xF

  3.

  4. q, g dbar/ubar at large-x & Quark Energy Loss in Nuclei FNAL E906 (120 GeV) • In E866 at 800 GeV, the nuclear dependence of Drell-Yan on nuclear targets could not unambiguously separate shadowing and dE/dx effects at low x • for 120 GeV, x > 0.1 & only quark dE/dx remains • LANL LDRD, Ming Liu, I. Vitev, 2008-2010 • Detector & physics simulations • Theoretical calculation of quark energy loss in p+A collisions • Station-4 muon detectors: originally developed for other LANL program, shipped to FNAL summer 2009 & being tested • Helped to develop offline code based on E866 software expertise • E906 Collaboration & software meeting @Los Alamos, 1/7/09 • Ming Liu, Pat McGaughey, Mike Leitch, Han Liu, and others Energy loss upper limits based on E866 Drell-Yan measurement & EKS shadowing J-PARC Experiment Runs Expt.

  24. Some of the Logic behind our Proposed Plan • RHIC • already have Nat. Lab. scale role incl. FVTX, Muon Tracker & PHENIX mgmt • work together with our larger H.I. program • harvesting FVTX-enabled physics – CNM & spin • spin msmts now viable with higher luminosity & polarization • new opportunities in forward transverse spin • JLab • no Nat. Lab. scale role; would take redirection of whole LANL ME effort to JLab • EIC relationship? • maintain at low level expertise, etc for future EIC • if EIC fails, JLab 12-GeV is an alternative • E906 • already have Nat. Lab scale (hardware) contribution • huge physics overlap with past FNAL and present RHIC d+Au programs • but, if cannot add LDRD PD and/or student, then cannot stay in E906 to physics • JParc? • nice followup to E906 (polariz.) but doesn’t fit in base program • LHC p+A? • also nice complement to E906 & RHIC d+Au • and we do “have” a small H.I. presence at LHC already
