  30. Summary & Outlook • RHIC spin program has begun: -- Polarized protons were injected and stored for extended times in RHIC -- CNI polarimeters have measured non zero asymmetries indicating polarization at 100 GeV proton beam energies -- Detectors are functional and will be 100% completed in 2004-5 -- A first round of single spin asymmetries have been measured • Next run 2002-3 promises to be the first one to get us a first look at DG -- First trials of 500 GeV run will be made and Ws produced • A 5 year run plan exists for the RHIC spin physics -- to explore DG, transversity, Dq & Dqbar is on the way Spin Physcis at RHIC

  31. The Electron Ion Collider A high energy, high intensity polarized electron 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 Spin Physcis at RHIC

  32. Deep Inelastic Scattering • Observe scattered electron/muon & hadrons in current jets • Observe spectator or remnant jet Spin Physcis at RHIC

  33. Why Collider in the Future? • Past polarized DIS experiments: MOSTLY FIXED TARGET • 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 Spin Physcis at RHIC

  34. EIC vs. DIS Facilities (I) • New kinematic region • Ee = 2-10 GeV • Ep = 30 – 250 GeV • Sqrt(s) = 20 – 100 GeV • Kinematic reach of EIC x = 10-4 0.6 Q2 = 0  104 GeV • High Luminosity L= (0.3 – 1.0) X 1033 cm-2 sec-1 Spin Physcis at RHIC

  35. EIC vs. Other DIS Facilities (II) Variable beam energy Variable hadron species Hadron beam polarization Large luminosity TESLA-N Spin Physcis at RHIC

  36. Scientific Frontiers Open to EIC • Nucleon Structure: polarized & unpolarized e-p/n scattering -- Role of quarks and gluons in the nucleon -- Spin structure: polarized quark & gluon distributions -- Unpolarized quark & gluon distributions -- Correlation between partons  hard exclusive processes leading to Generalized Parton Distributions (GPD’s) • Nuclear structure: unpolarized e-A scattering -- Role of quarks and gluons in nuclei -- e-p vs. e-A physics in comparison • 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 Spin Physcis at RHIC

  37. Unpolarized DIS e-p at EIC • Large(r) kinematic region already covered at HERA but additional studies at EIC are possible & desirable • Uniqueness of EIC: 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(x) -- precision measurement of aS(Q2) -- flavor separation (charm and strangeness) -- precision gluon distribution in x=0.001 to x=0.6 -- slopes in dF2/dlnQ2 -- precision photoproduction physics -- exclusive reaction measurements -- nuclear fragmentation region measurements Spin Physcis at RHIC

  38. Polarized DIS at EIC • 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 structure function of the photon from photo-production • Electroweak structure function 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…. Spin Physcis at RHIC

  39. A. Deshpande & V. W. Hughes Spin structure function g1 at low x ~5-7 days of data 3 years of data 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 Spin Physcis at RHIC

  40. A. Deshpande & V. W. Hughes Low x measurement of g1 of Neutron • With polarized He3 or deuteron • ~ 2 weeks of data at EIC • Compared with SMC(past) & possible HERA data • If combined with g1 of proton results in Bjorken sum rule test of better than 1% within a couple of months of running (G.Igo & T. Sloan, AD & V. Hughes) EIC 1 inv.fb Spin Physcis at RHIC

  41. Polarized Gluon Measurement at EIC • 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 • Measurements at EIC will be complimentary with RHIC with a very different set of systematic uncertainties - high Q2 assures no problems with interpretation of results • Deep Inelastic Scattering kinematics at EIC -- Scaling violations (pQCD analysis at NLO) of g1 -- (2+1) jet production in photon-gluon-fusion process -- 2-high pT hadro production in PGF • Photo-production (real photon) kinematics at EIC -- Single and di-jet production in PGF -- Open charm production in PGF Spin Physcis at RHIC

  42. A. Deshpande, V. W. Hughes & J. Lichtenstadt DG from Scaling Violations of g1 • World data (today) allows a NLO pQCD fit to the scaling violations in g1 resulting in the polarized gluon distribution and its first moment. • SM collaboration, B. Adeva et al. PRD (1998) 112002 DG = 1.0 +/- 1.0 (stat) +/- 0.4 (exp. Syst.) +/- 1.4 (theory) • Theory uncertainty dominated by the lack of knowledge of the shape of the PDFs in unmeasured low x region where EIC data will play a crucial role. • With approx. 1 week of EIC data, statistical and theoretical uncertainties on DG will be reduced by a factor of 3 -- coupled to better low x knowledge of spin structure -- less dependence on factorization & re-normalization scale uncertainty Spin Physcis at RHIC

  43. Photon Gluon Fusion at EIC • “Direct” determination of DG -- Di-Jet events -- High pT leading hadrons • High Sqrt(s) at EIC -- no theoretical ambiguities • Both methods tried at HERA for 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 Spin Physcis at RHIC

  44. G. Radel, A. De Roeck, A. Deshpande, V. W. Hughes & J. Lichtenstadt Di-Jet events at EIC: Analysis at NLO • Stat. Accuracy for two luminosities • Detector smearing effects considered • NLO analysis • Easy to differentiate different DG scenarios: factor 3 improvements • in ~2 weeks • If combined with scaling violations of g1: factors of 5 improvements • in uncertainties observed in the same time. • Better than 3-5% uncertainty can be expected from EIC DG program Spin Physcis at RHIC

  45. G. Radel & A. De Roeck Di-Jet at EIC vs. World Data for DG/G EIC Di-Jet DATA 2fb-1 Good precision Clean measurement in x range 0.01< x < 0.3 Constrains shape of DG(x) Polarization in HERA much more difficult than RHIC. Spin Physcis at RHIC

  46. Polarized PDFs of the Photons Direct Photon Resolved Photon • 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! Spin Physcis at RHIC

  47. M. Stratmann & W. Vogelsang Will measure the photon PDFs… • Stat. Accuracy estimated for 1 fb-1 running (2 weeks at EIC) • Single and double jet asymmetries • ZEUS acceptance • Will resolve photon’s partonic spin contents Direct Photon Resolved Photon Spin Physcis at RHIC

  48. 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 EIC kinematics Spin Physcis at RHIC

  49. J. Contreras & A. De Roeck Measurement Accuracy PV g5 at EIC Assumes: • Input GS Pol. PDfs • xF3 measured by then • 4 fb-1 luminosity Positrons & Electrons in EIC  g5(+) >> Issues for linac vs. ring design of EIC Spin Physcis at RHIC

  50. S. Bass, A. De Roeck & A. Deshpande Drell Hern Gerasimov Spin Sum Rule • DHG Sum rule: • At EIC n range: GeV  few TeV • Although contribution from to the this sum rule is small, the high n behavior is completely unknown and hence theoretically biased in any present measurements at: Jefferson Lab., MAMI, BNL • Inclusive Photo-production • measurement • Using electron tagger in • RHIC ring • Q2 ~ 10-6 10-2 GeV2 • Sqrt(s) ~ 25  85 GeV Spin Physcis at RHIC
