The use of organic scintillating fibre arrays with opto-electronics devices combines the fast response of scintillating detectors with the granularity of tracking devices and the advantage of reduced cost and relatively simple construction. In this talk, I will present examples of this detector and potential uses of it in the EIC.

The Timing Optimized PID Silicon Detector for the EIC (TOPSiDE) is Argonne's proposed central detector concept for the Electron-Ion Collider, with its physics goals of perturbative and non-perturbative Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD) studies of the structure of nucleons and nuclei. It requires high precision tracking, good vertex resolution, and excellent particle identification with a timing...

Excellent particle identification (PID) is one of the key requirements for the central detector of the Electron-Ion collider (EIC). Identification of the hadrons in the final state is important to study how different quark flavors contribute to nucleon properties. A detector with a radial size of only 7-8 cm, which uses the principle of Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light (DIRC),...

Understanding the modification of quarks in nucleons within nuclei (EMC effect) is a longstanding open question in nuclear physics. Recent experimental results from electron scattering at Jefferson Lab strengthen the correlation between the EMC effect and nucleon-nucleon short-range correlated pairs (SRC) within nuclei. That means that the EMC effect is probably driven by the high-momentum...

The space and momentum distribution of hadronic constituents (gluons, sea quarks) inside the nucleon is of utmost importance in studies of QCD. Deeper considerations of the lightest mesons (pions, kaons) could provide insights into many questions that plague modern QCD studies. Pions and Kaons are connected to the Goldstone modes of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking, making them critical...

The description of hadronic structure in terms of quark and gluon degrees of freedom is an open subject in physics. Great efforts are being devoted to it on both the theoretical and experimental sides. Triggered by existing plans to build new experimental facilities, and the need to properly interpret the data that are to come, interest into the zoology of parton distribution functions is...

Studying the role of gluonic observables in exclusive scattering processes is essential as new physics programs, such as an electron ion collider, are planned in unprecedented kinematic regimes. We present a parameterization of gluon generalized parton distributions (GPDs) calculated using a reggeized spectator model. This parameterization is constrained using a combination of lattice QCD form...

The recent exclusive backward-angle electroproduction of omega from Jefferson Lab Hall C electron-proton fixed-target scattering experiments above the resonance region hints at a new domain of applicability of QCD factorization in a unique u-channel kinematics regime. Thanks to this pioneering effort, the interest in studying nucleon structure through u-channel meson production observables has...

Backward ($u$-channel) production of vector mesons in electron-ion collisions is an under-studied mechanism with interesting physics implications. Backward-production reactions are characterized by a small Mandelstam $u$ compared to forward production's small Mandelstam $t$. The result of this difference in reaction channels is that the products of backward production are a proton at...

We perform the first simultaneous global QCD extraction of the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions and the TMD fragmentation functions in nuclei. This analysis allows us to extract the three-dimensional information of the partonic structure of nuclei as well as the three-dimensional information for hadron formation in a nuclear medium. In this analysis, we take...

We present explorative analyses of the 3D gluon content of the proton via a study of polarized T-odd gluon TMDs at twist-2, calculated in a spectator model for the parent nucleon. Our approach encodes a flexible parameterization for the spectator-mass density, suited to describe both moderate and small-x effects. All these prospective developments are relevant in the investigation of the gluon...

Heavy quark production in deep inelastic scattering proceeds via the Boson Gluon Fusion process and thus are ideal tools to constrain the gluon distribution functions in the nucleon/ion probed. Measurement of heavy flavor hadron pair production in deep inelastic scattering processes provides access to the transverse kinematics of the gluon and provide unique constraints to the gluon transverse...

Measurements of hard probes such as heavy flavor in deep inelastic scatterings will be an essential component to the EIC physics program and are one of the detector R\&D driving aspects. In this talk we will present the projected statistical precision of open charm hadron production through exclusive hadronic channel reconstruction with a silicon detector concept currently being developed...
