[Eic_ct] minutes of the 03/18/ phone meeting

[Dipangkar Dutta]

Hello All,
Here are the minutes of today's phone meeting, they are also posted on the Wiki.

== Participants ==

''Lamiaa El Fassi, Wim Cosyn, Gerry Miller, Dipangkar Dutta''

Gerry gave us a quick update from the Rutger's EIC meeting

We discussed the point that for most exclusive reactions, the lack of
missing mass resolution implies that, we have to detect the recoil particle to
ensure exclusivity. In many cases the recoil is at very forward angles and
detection would be difficult. For each reaction under study we should list the
kinematics for all reactions products so that the detector requirements can be
specified.

Progress on the reactions under study.

* Coherent diffractive &rho;<sup>0</sup>, J/&Psi; production from nuclei
(Lamiaa)
Event generator is being modified for the collider geometry and it will be used
with a PYTHIA code under development.

* Exclusive &pi;, p, pp production from nuclei. (Wim)
Kinematics have been simulated, will also look at the kinematics of the recoil
particle

* diffractive di-jet, and high p<sub>T</sub> di-jet production (DD)
Determined to be not suitable for mEIC energies

Gerry mentioned Mark Strikman and S. Kumano's work on a couple of new
observables:
2-to-3 hard hadronic processes and large angle two body scattering.
He also mentioned that at the Rutgers meeting Stan Brodsky talked about
several new observables.

We will look into these observables and their feasibility at the EIC.
