Simulation of Jet Production at the Future Electron-Ion Collider
POSTER
Abstract
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is planned to be built at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The EIC will enable the study of the internal structure of nucleons and nuclei with unprecedented precision. Jets in high energy, high luminosity particle collisions at the EIC will allow for detailed studies of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and the three-dimensional hadron structure in transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMD PDFs). Jets are useful channels to probe the partons produced in these collisions. Jet charge measurements can be used to differentiate between quark flavors and increase u- and d-quark flavor sensitivity. This flavor sensitivity is essential for understanding the TMD PDFs since there are cancellations between different flavors. Here Pythia 8 and Fastjet are used to simulate electron-proton collisions, and jet properties are used to study the quarks and gluons in the initial and final states.
