The US department of Energy announced in 2020 that a high-luminosity, high-energy electron-ion collider (EIC) with polarized beams would be built at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), jointly by BNL and Jefferson Laboratory (JLab). Since then an EIC project has been setup and it is marching towards the realization of collisions in the early 2030's with significant international involvement....
The proton radius can be determined by measuring the slope of the electric form factor $G_\text{E}$ at small squared four-momentum transfer $Q^2$. Numerous elastic scattering and laser spectroscopy measurements of the proton radius have been performed with contradicting results ---the so-called proton radius puzzle. We propose to measure the proton radius in high-energy elastic muon-proton...
New physics frontiers can be opened by using internal gas targets at the LHC. The various collision systems like pp, pA, and PbA at energies varying from √s_NN=72 GeV to √s=115 GeV, and the implicit forward kinematic of the collisions, make accessible a broad program of measurements, from the large-x frontier for particle and astroparticle physics to spin and heavy-ion physics. A first step...
The Spin Physics Detector is a multipurpose experiment foreseen to run at the NICA collider (JINR, Dubna). The main purpose of the experiment is the study of the nucleon spin structure in collisions of polarized protons and deuterons as well as other spin-related phenomena. The SPD physics program and the detector concept will be presented.
The AMBER collaboration is planning measurements of the inner structure and the excitation spectrum of the kaon. For this purpose it is very important to have a kaon beam of high intensity as the results will be statistics-limited. The M2 beam line of the CERN SPS delivers a high intensity secondary mixed hadron beam consisting mainly of pions, so it is crucial to tag the vast majority of the...
The excitation spectrum of light mesons; which are composed of up, down, and strange quarks; allows us to study QCD at low energies. While the non-strange light-meson spectrum is already mapped out rather well, many predicted strange mesons have not yet been observed experimentally and many potentially observed states still need further confirmation. Hence, the strange-meson spectrum still...
The main objectives of the AMBER experimental program are presented. Emphasis is given to measurements of the pion and kaon structure as a tool for understanding the emergence of the hadronic mass mechanism. The complementarity aspects of Drell-Yan, charmonium and direct-photon production experiments are reviewed. The benefits expected from the foreseen RF-separated meson beam facility are discussed.
