Abstract

Heavy flavor production at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will allow us to precisely determine the quark/gluon fragmentation processes in vacuum and the nuclear medium especially within the poorly constrained kinematic region. Heavy flavor hadron and jet reconstruction with the recent EIC detector design have been studies in simulation. Results of corresponding physics projections such as the flavor dependent hadron nuclear modification factor $R_{eA}$ in electron+nucleus collisions will be shown. The statistical precision obtained by these proposed heavy flavor measurements for the future EIC provides a strong discriminating power in separating different theoretical predictions.

Report

Detector performance on Heavy flavor detection at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) using a proposed Forward Silicon Tracker (FST) is studied. Tracking resolution with various magnetic field is performed. The reconstruction of various heavy flavors in jets performed and yield with invariant mass distribution studied with projected EIC luminosities.
Projected nuclear modification factor in eA is discussed for both light and heavy flavors. This is a very detailed simulation studies and well written document. I highly recommend it for publication.
