abstract

The measurement of Single Transverse-Spin Asymmetries, $A_N$, for various quarkonium states and Drell-Yan lepton pairs can shed light on the orbital angular momentum of quarks and gluons, a fundamental ingredient of the proton-spin puzzle. The AFTER@LHC proposal combines a unique kinematic coverage and large luminosities thanks to the Large Hadron Collider beams to deliver precise measurements, complementary to the knowledge provided by collider experiments such as at RHIC. In this paper, we report on sensitivity studies for $J/\psi$, $\Upsilon$ and Drell-Yan $A_N$ done using the performance of LHCb-like or ALICE-like detectors, combined with polarised gaseous hydrogen and helium-3 targets. In particular, such analyses will provide us with new insights and knowledge about transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions for quarks and gluons and on twist-3 collinear matrix elements in the proton and the neutron.

  1. Sivers Asymmetry in Photoproduction of $J/\psi$ and Jet at the EIC

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Photoproduction of J/psi+jet at the EIC shows a gluon-dominated Sivers asymmetry of up to 6-8% in the models studied, making it a promising probe of the gluon Sivers function.
