Jet Measurements with the ECCE Detector at the Electron-Ion Collider

ORAL

Abstract

The ECCE experiment is a proposed detector for the upcoming Electron-Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Based around the sPHENIX detector, it will feature electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry as well as particle tracking and identification, enabling a detailed study of jets in ep and eA collisions. Using jets, the partonic structure of the nucleon can be examined, as jets are correlated with the partons which form them. Additionally, the structure of jets offers clues into the hadronization process, which is still not well understood. To achieve these physics goals, the detector's momentum and spatial resolution of jets must be sufficiently good. Using Pythia and Geant4 simulations, the scale and resolution of jet measurements can be studied, demonstrating the detector's capability. Performance will be examined at mid-rapidity and the forward region, and the capabilities of various subsystems in isolation will be presented. Finally, the efficiency of jet reconstruction will be discussed.
