Beyond Standard Model Physics with the Electron Ion Collider

ORAL

Abstract

The upcoming Electron Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory will make significant advances in our understanding of nucleon structure and dynamics. The extraordinary luminosity specifications for this new machine open the door to measurements sensitive to physics beyond the standard model, such as charge lepton flavor violation in the tau sector. Furthermore, the unique phase space access allows measurements at the EIC to constrain fundamental parameters in the standard model, such as the weak mixing angle. Finally, it has been shown that inclusion of EIC measurements into the Standard Model Effective Field Theory framework resolves flat directions providing complementary constraints to other measurements planned in the next decade. This talk will give an overview of different measurements and plans to further refine sensitivities using the ePIC detector.
