Description
We study the impact of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) on the phenomenological extraction of the tensor charge from a QCD global analysis of single transverse-spin asymmetries (SSAs). We generate EIC pseudo-data for the Collins effect in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering for proton and He-3 beams across multiple energy configurations. We find a significant reduction in the theoretical errors for the up, down, and isovector tensor charges that will make their extraction from EIC data on SSAs as or more precise than current lattice QCD calculations. We also analyze the constraints placed by potential future data from the proposed SoLID experiment at Jefferson Lab.
