• Physical interest in GPDs– Transverse spatial distribution of partons with
longitudinal momentum x: transverse imaging of nucleon [Burkhardt 00]
– Correlations in wave function– Moment xn-1 Form factor of local twist-2 spin-n
operator: EM tensor, angular momentum [Ji 96, Polyakov 02]
• Tests of reaction mechanism– Model-independent features of small-size regime– Finite-size corrections – [Frankfurt et al. 96, Kroll, Goloskokov >05]

• Exclusive processes at sufficiently high Q2 should be understandable in terms of the “handbag” diagram
– The non-perturbative (soft) physics is represented by the GPDs
• Shown to factorize from QCD perturbative processes for longitudinal photons [Collins, Frankfurt, Strikman 97]

• Need good understanding of reaction mechanism– QCD factorization for mesons is complex (additional interaction of the
produced meson)

• Physics interest– Transverse imaging of
nonperturbative sea quarks and gluons
– Information about meson wave function: spin/flavor structure

EIC: Gluon Imaging with J/Ψ
• Physics interest– Valence gluons, dynamical origin
– Chiral dynamics at b~1/Mπ
[Strikman, Weiss 03/09, Miller 07]
– Diffusion in QCD radiation
Tanja Horn, Imaging in Exclusive Processes, INT10-3, Seattle
• Transverse spatial distributions from exclusive J/ψ, and φ at Q2>10 GeV2
– Transverse distribution directly from ΔT dependence
– Reaction mechanism, QCD description studied at HERA
• Existing data– Transverse area x<0.01 [HERA]
– Larger x poorly known [FNAL]

Gluon Imaging: Valence Gluons
• Imaging requires– Full t-distribution for Fourier transform– Non-exponential? Power-like at |t|>1
GeV2?– Electroproduction with Q2>10 GeV2:
test reaction mechanism, compare different channels, control systematics
Tanja Horn, Imaging in Exclusive Processes, INT10-3, Seattle
• Transverse imaging of valence gluons through exclusive J/ψ, φ
• Experimentally need:– Recoil detection for exclusivity, wide
coverage in t with high resolution– Luminosity ~ 1034, electroproduction,
high-t

Gluon imaging: gluon vs. singlet quark size
Tanja Horn, Imaging in Exclusive Processes, INT10-3, Seattle
Detailed differential image of nucleon’s partonic structure
• EIC: gluon size from J/ψ, singlet quark size from DVCS
– x-dependence: quark vs. gluon diffusion in wave function
– Detailed analysis: LO NLO [Mueller et al.]
• Do singlet quarks and gluons have the same transverse distribution?
– Hints from HERA:
– Dynamical models predict difference: pion cloud, constituent quark picture [Strikman, Weiss 09]
– No difference assumed in present pp MC generators for LHC!

• New territory for collider!
• Spatial structure of non-perturbative sea– Closely related to JLab 12 GeV
o Quark spin/flavor separationso Nucleon/meson structure
• Simulation for π+ production assuming 100 days at a luminosity of 1034 with 5 on 50 GeV (s=1000 GeV2)

• Lower and more symmetric energies essential to ensure exclusivity

EIC: Transverse strange sea quark imaging
• Do strange and non-strange sea quarks have the same spatial distribution?
– πN or KΛ components in nucleon– QCD vacuum fluctuations– Nucleon/meson structure
ep → e‘K+n
• Lower and more symmetric energies essential to ensure exclusivity
• Rate estimate for KΛ using an empirical fit to kaon electroproduction data from DESY and JLab assuming 100 days at a luminosity of 1034 with 5 on 50 GeV (s=1000 GeV2)
– Consistent with back-of-the-envelope scaling arguments

Imaging of strange sea quarks!

Transverse polarization example
• Deformation of transverse distribution by transverse polarization of nucleon
– Helicity flip GPD E, cf. Pauli ff
• EIC: exclusive ρ and φ production with transversely polarized beam
– Excellent statistics at Q2>10 GeV2
– Transverse polarization natural for collider

Beyond transverse imaging
Tanja Horn, Imaging in Exclusive Processes, INT10-3, Seattle
• Longitudinal correlations in nucleon– GPDs at x’≠x: correlated qqbar pairs in nucleon
– QCD vacuum structure, relativistic nature of nucleon
– EIC: reveal correlations through exclusive meson, γ at x>0.1, Q2 dependence
• Orbital motion of quarks/gluons– TMD and orbital motion from SIDIS
– Major component of the EIC program
– Connection with GPDs– Unintegrated distributions, Ji sum rule
…needs kinematic coverage way beyond JLab 12 GeV
…should be discussed together

L/T separations in exclusive K+/π+ production
• Virtual photon polarization, ε, goes to unity at high √s
Requires special low energies for at least one ε point

• L/T separated cross sections require:– Data taken at different beam
energies (Rosenbluth)
– Sufficiently large Δε (to avoid magnification of the systematic uncertainty in the separation)

Exclusive Meson Production Exclusive Meson Production PerspectivesPerspectives
Tanja Horn, Imaging in Exclusive Processes, INT10-3, Seattle
• Luminosity– Non-diffractive proceses (exclusive π and K production) require high
luminosity for low rates, differential measurements in x, t, Q2
– Kaons push luminosity >1034
• Kinematic reach– Need Q2>10 GeV2 (pointlike configurations)– x range between 0.001 and 0.1 overlapping with HERA and JLab12 GeV– s-range between 200 and 1000 GeV2
• Energies– More symmetric energies favorable, 5 on 50 seems to be a sweet spot
for exclusive meson production– Lower energies essential for ε range in pseudoscalar L/T separations
(pion form factor)
• Detection– Recoil detection for exclusivity, t-range
