Small-x physics at the LHeC: 1. Introduction.

● Three pQCD-based alternatives to describe small-x ep and eA data:→ DGLAP evolution (fixed order PT).→ Resummation schemes.→ CGC (dipole models and rcBK).Differences lie at moderate Q2(>Λ2QCD) and small x. Hints of deviations from NLO DGLAP at small x (Caola et al ’09).

● Unitarity (non-linear effects): where?

Physics goals:

Small-x physics at the LHeC: 2. The Large Hadron-electron Collider. 12

● Proton structure to a few 10-20 m: Q2 lever arm.

● Precision QCD/EW physics.

● High-mass frontier (leptoquarks, excited fermions, contact interactions).

● Unambiguous access, in ep and eA, to a qualitatively novel regime of matter predicted by QCD.

● Substructure/parton dynamics inside nuclei with strong implications on QGP search.

DVCS:

Small-x physics at the LHeC: 4. Diffractive observables. 40

● Exclusive processes like γ*+h→ρ,ϕ,γ+h give information of GPDs, whose Fourier transform gives a tranverse scanning of the hadron: key importance for both non-perturbative and perturbative aspects, like the possibility of non-linear dynamics.

● Only small-x case where higher luminosity really helps!!!DVCS, Ee=50 GeV, 1o,pTγ,cut=2 GeV, 1 fb-1

In-medium hadronization:

Small-x physics at the LHeC: 5. Final states and photoproduction. 42

● Low energy: need of hadronization inside → formation time, (pre-)hadronic absorption,...

● High energy: partonic evolution altered in the nuclear medium, partonic energy loss.

● The LHeC (νmax∼105 GeV) would allow to study the dynamics of hadronization, testing the parton/hadron eloss mechanism by introducing a length of colored material which would modify its pattern (length/nuclear size, chemical composition).

Brooks at Divonne’09

Forward jets:

Small-x physics at the LHeC: 5. Final states and photoproduction. 43

● Studying forward jets (pT∼Q) or dijet decorrelation would allow to understand the mechanism of radiation:→ kT-ordered: DGLAP.→ kT-disordered: BFKL.→ Saturation?● Further imposing a rapidity gap (diffractive jets) would be most interesting: perturbatively controllable observable.

Preliminary; LHeC Design Study Report, CERN 2011

Jet photoproduction:

Small-x physics at the LHeC: 5. Final states and photoproduction. 44

● Jets: large ET even in eA.

● Useful for studies of parton dynamics in nuclei (hard probes), and for photon structure.

● Background subtraction, detailed reconstruction pending.

Summary:

Small-x physics at the LHeC. 46

● Many issues remain open about small-x physics (behavior of the hadron wave function at small x): describable by pQCD?, need of resummation/onset of unitarity in the accessible kinematical regions?

● Current ep experiments cover pp@LHC at y=0; in eA, not even dAu@RHIC is really constrained.

● An electron-nucleon/ion collideroffers huge possibilities to test ourideas about high-energy QCD. eA:amplifier of density effects,implications on UrHICcomplementary to pA@LHC.

● LHeC@CERN: new facility forep/eA at Ecm∼1-2 TeV under design.
