The e+A physics program with collison geometry characterization at an EIC 


Abstract: 

It is the ultimate long term quest of nuclear physics to understand the emergence of nuclear structure and dynamics in terms of quarks and gluons, the basic constituents in Quantum Chromo-Dynamics. Electron-nucleus (e+A) collisions at an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will provide an excellent tool 
to investigate these emergent phenomena with its wide kinematic reach and the ability to accelerate a large variety of nuclear beams. The underlying collision geometry with respect to the nuclear environment is important to precisely constrain the nuclear effect in e+A collisions. Unfortunately, in 
nuclear DIS studies at the moment, geometric dependence can only be studied with the variation of nuclear target atomic number A, after averaging over the geometric effect for that given nuclear type. In this talk, I am going to introduce the technique of using forward-going particle measurements to 
tag the collision geometry information on an event-by-event basis at a future EIC. The recent development of the simulation tool employed to explore the experimental capability of this measurement will also be discussed.
