Gluonic Excitations and the Origin of ConfinementConfinement is due to the formation of “Flux tubes” arising from the self-interaction of the glue, leading to a linear confining potential

Experimentally, we want to “pluck” the flux tube and see how it responds

Normal mesons

Jpc = 1-+

An excited flux tube gives rise to hybrid mesons with conventional and exotic quantum numbers JPC

Physics goals and key features

The physics goal of GlueX is to map the spectrum of hybrid mesons in a mass range 1.5 to 2.5 GeV, starting with those with the unique signature of exotic JPC

Identifying JPC requires an amplitude analysis which in turn requires

linearly polarized photons detector with excellent acceptance and resolution sensitivity to a wide variety of decay modes

In addition, sensitivity to hybrid masses up to 2.5 GeV requires 9 GeV photons which will be produced using coherent bremsstrahlung from 12 GeV electrons

Final states include photons and charged particles and require particle identification

Hermetic detector with large acceptance for charged and neutral particles

• Observation stunned and electrified the

HEP and Nuclear communities 20 years ago• Nearly 1,000 papers have been generated…..• What is it that alters the quark momentum in the nucleus?

Unpacking the EMC effect

• With 12 GeV, we have a variety of tools to unravel the EMC effect: Parton model ideas are valid over fairly wide kinematic

range High luminosity High polarization

• New experiments, including several major programs: Precision study of A-dependence; x>1; valence vs. sea g1A(x) “Polarized EMC effect” – influence of nucleus on

spin Flavor-tagged polarized structure functions uA(xA) and

dA(xA) x dependence of axial-vector current in nuclei (can study

via parity violation) Nucleon-tagged structure functions from 2H and 3He Study x-dependence of exclusive channels on light nuclei,

sum up to EMC

A Vision for Precision PV DIS Physics

• Hydrogen and Deuterium targets• Better than 2% errors

It is unlikely that any effects are larger than 10%

• x-range 0.25-0.75• W2 well over 4 GeV2

• Q2 range a factor of 2 for each x

(Except x~0.75)• Moderate running times

• CW 90 µA at 11 GeV• 40 cm liquid H2 and D2 targets• Luminosity > 1038/cm2/s

• solid angle > 200 msr• count at 100 kHz• on-line pion rejection of 102 to 103

Goal: Form a collaboration, start real design and simulations, and make pitch to US community at the next nuclear physics Long Range Plan (2007)

Why Electron-Ion Collider?

• Polarized DIS and e-A physics: in past only in fixed-target mode• Collider geometry allows complete reconstruction of final state• Better angular resolution between beam and target fragments

• Lepton probe provides precision but requires high luminosity to be effective

• High Ecm large range of x, Q2 Qmax2= ECM

x range: valence, sea quarks, glueQ2 range: utilize evolution equations of QCD

• High polarization of lepton and nucleon a requisite

Achieving the Luminosity of ELIC

For 150 GeV protons on 7 GeV electrons, L~ 8 x 1034 cm-2 s-1 is compatible with realistic Interaction Region design.

Beam Physics Issues

• High energy electron cooling

• Beam – beam interaction between electron and ion beams

(i ~ 0.01 per IP; 0.025 is presently utilized in Tevatron)

• Interaction Region

Summary of Future Spin Physics at JLab

• The Upgrade to 12 GeV at JLab is well underway (preparing for CD-2 review)

• It will allow ground-breaking studies of

the structure of the nucleon

exotic mesons and the origin of confinement

the QCD basis of nuclear structure

the Standard Model at the multi-TeV scale

All requiring the use of highly polarized beams (and/or targets)

• The schedule of LQCD calculations at JLab is commensurate with the physics goals of the 12 GeV Upgrade

• Design studies at JLab have led to a promising design of an electron-ion collider

a luminosity of up to ~1035 cm-2 s-1

at a center-of-mass energy between 20 and 65 GeV

for collisions between polarized electrons/positrons and light ions (A≤40)
