52. (LECR) Kaons Kaons, I Like Kaons

Stuart Fegan (University of York)

7/11/26, 3:40 PM

Talk

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...

33. (EECR) A General Partial Wave Amplitude Formalism for Meson Electroprocution at the EIC

Dillon Leahy (University of Glasgow)

7/11/26, 4:00 PM

Talk

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...

34. (EECR) High energy QCD: Evolution equations and particle production

Mr José Garrido (Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María)

7/11/26, 4:20 PM

Talk

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...

35. (EECR) Model-independent determination of proton structure functions at the Electron-Ion Collider

Javier Jiménez-López (Vrije Universiteit Brussel)

7/11/26, 4:40 PM

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...

50. (EECR) The Carbon Footprint of the Electron-Ion Collider

Ada Collins (University of Manitoba)

7/11/26, 5:00 PM

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...
