The Timepix4-based Low-Q2 tracking detector will extend the kinematic reach of the ePIC detector towards effectively zero photon virtuality, enabling a broad programme of quasi-real photoproduction measurements at the Electron-Ion Collider. By precisely measuring the trajectory of the scattered electron, the detector will tag events involving the exchange of quasi-real photons, providing...

We report on a beam test of a Silicon Photo-Multiplier (SiPM)-on-tile Zero Degree Calorimeter (ZDC) prototype developed for the future Electron–Ion Collider (EIC). The detector implements the staggered scintillator-tile geometry envisioned for the final detector and includes 370 instrumented channels, corresponding to O(10%) of the full ZDC. The detector was tested using a 5.3 GeV positron...

Collider luminosity is an important quantity used for normalization of all measured physics observables. Its determination is done exployting bremsstrahlung (BS) photons. The BS photons generate a signal in an electromagnetic calorimeter consisting of Cherenkov photons, which are read by Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs).

Leveraging strangeness production is one of the methods by which we can peer deeper into the field of Baryon Spectroscopy; much of the existing data in resonance production comes from N$\pi$ scattering, which limits sensitivity to states containing strangeness. In this talk, I will give a personal whistle-stop tour of how Kaons can aid baryon spectroscopy searches, from CLAS6 photoproduction...

In the search for exotic mesons, many exotic candidates have been found. In particular, the LHC has identified a plethora of exotic candidates, however, the QCD makeup of these states is still ambiguous. This work is the first step in distinguishing the structure of these exotic resonances through leptoproduction. Within this work, the moments of angular distribution analysis framework has...

In this talk, we review the physics of high parton densities at small values of Bjorken $x$ leading to the phenomenon of parton saturation. Consider deep inelastic scattering (DIS) as our process, we derive the main equations governing the elastic and diffractive high energy scattering on a large nucleus, resumming all multiple rescatterings in the leading logarithmic approximation. Next, we...

We investigate the feasibility of a model-independent extraction of the proton structure functions $F_{2}$, $F_{L}$, and $xF_{3}$ at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The extraction of $xF_{3}$ typically relies on combining electron and positron scattering data to isolate its parity-violating contribution; however, positron beams are not currently foreseen at the EIC. The methodology we...

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will be the first collider built in the 21st century — an era where climate change cannot be ignored. Throughout its construction, operation, and scientific lifestyle, the EIC will contribute significant carbon emissions to the atmosphere. These emissions do not outweigh the importance of the science that will be done by the collaboration, but it is crucial to...

The exclusive production of tau lepton pairs $\tau^{+}\tau^{-}$ in electron-proton ($ep$) collisions offers a unique laboratory to test lepton flavor universality and search for physics beyond the Standard Model, such as anomalous magnetic moments ($g - 2$) and weak dipole moments of the tau. However, measuring exclusive tau pairs at the EIC presents severe experimental challenges due to the...

We present a comprehensive study on the exclusive production of electron $e^{+}e^{-}$ and $\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$ pairs in electron-proton ($ep$) collisions at the EIC. Exclusive dilepton production via photon-photon fusion serves as a pristine channel to probe the underlying production mechanisms, test quantum electrodynamics (QED) in high-energy regimes, and perform unique measurements of the...

The photon is arguably the most universally important particle across all fields of physics. Despite its status as a fundamental particle, at high energies the photon can be seen as a hadronic source of partons. The partonic content of the photon is very poorly constrained compared to that of the proton, with photon PDF uncertainties typically one or two orders of magnitude larger than their...

This extends the work performed at GlueX, in which this method was previously developed for and is being applied in current analyses.

Generative AI is increasingly integrated into nuclear and hadron physics research, offering powerful tools for data analysis and interpretation. However, it also introduces underappreciated risks, including confidently incorrect outputs, misinterpretation of complex datasets, and the generation of physically inconsistent or “hallucinated” results.

Particle identification in the ePIC detector relies partly on the detection of internally reflected Cherenkov photons produced in electron-ion collisions.

The proximity-focusing Ring Imaging Cherenkov detector, known as pfRICH, is an important particle identification detector in the ePIC experiment at the Electron-Ion Collider.
