  1. Single Spin Asymmetries and Transverse Structure of the Nucleon Jian-ping Chen (陈剑平), Jefferson Lab, Virginia, USA Seminar @ USTC, Hefei, China, July 9, 2013 • Introduction • Recent SSA Results from JLab • New Preliminary SSA Results from JLab • TMD study with SoLID at JLab 12 GeV • SoLID Program on SSA/TMDs • Long-term Future: TMDs study with Electron-Ion Colliders (EIC) • MEIC@ JLab and E-RHIC@BNL • A New Opportunity: an EIC in China (EIC@HIAF)

  2. Introduction Strong QCD, Nucleon Structure/TMDs

  3. What Are the Challenges? • Success of the Standard Model Recent discovery of Higgs particle Electro-Weak theory tested to very good level of precision Strong interaction theory (QCD) tested in the high energy (short distance) region • Major challenges: Understand QCD in the strong region (distance of the nucleon size) Understand quark-gluon structure of the nucleon Confinement • Beyond Standard Model Energy frontier – LHC search: no new physics (yet) Precision tests of Standard Model at low energy Precision information of nucleon structure needed

  4. QCD: Unsolved in Nonperturbative Region running coupling “constant” • 2004 Nobel prize for ``asymptotic freedom’’ • non-perturbative regime QCD confinement • Nature’s only known truly nonperturbative fundamental theory • One of the top 10 challenges for physics! • QCD: Important for discovering new physics beyond SM • Nucleon: stable lab to study QCD • Nucleon structure is one of the most active areas

  5. Electron Scattering and Nucleon Structure • Clean probe to study nucleon structure only electro-weak interaction, well understood • Elastic Electron Scattering: Form Factors  60s: established nucleon has structure (Nobel Prize) electrical and magnetic distributions • Resonance Excitations  internal structure, rich spectroscopy (new particle search) constituent quark models • Deep Inelastic Scattering  70s: established quark-parton picture (Nobel Prize) parton distribution functions (PDFs) polarized PDFs : spin Structure TMDs, GPDs: 3-d structure: Factorization: observable Robert Hofstadter, Nobel Prize 1961 J.T. Friedman R. Taylor H.W. Kendall Nobel Prize 1990

  7. Nucleon Structure Function: Deep-Inelastic Scattering • Bjorken Scaling and Scaling Violation • Gluon radiation – QCD evolution • One of the best experimental tests of QCD

  8. Polarized Structure Function/Distributions

  9. QCD and Nucleon Structure Study • Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking <-> Confinement • Responsible for ~98% of the nucleon mass • Higgs mechanism is (almost) irrelevant to light quarks • Rapid development in theory • Lattice QCD • Dyson-Schwinger • Ads/CFT: Holographic QCD • …… • Direct comparisons limited to • Moments • Tensor charge • … • Direct comparison becomes possible • Experimental data with predictions from theory C.D.

Dyson-Schwinger Pion’s valence-quark Distribution Amplitude C.D. Roberts, Prog. Part. Nucl. Phys. 61 (2008) 50 Dilation of pion’s wave function is measurable in pion’s electromagnetic form factor at JLab12 A-rated:E12-06-10 • Established an one-to-one connection between DCSB and the pointwise form of the pion’s wave function. • Dilation measures the rate at which dressed-quark approaches the asymptotic bare-parton limit • Experiments at JLab12 can empirically verify the behaviour of M(p), and hence chart the IR limit of QCD Craig Roberts: Mapping Parton Structure and Correlations (62p)

  11. Lattice QCD A new proposal • Using the Infinite Momentum Frame formalism. • Start with static correlation in the z-direction. X. Ji, to be published First exploratory study by Huey-Wen Lin presented at the QCD Evolution Workshop at JLab, May 2013.
