Description
I will discuss the partonic structure of the proton and nuclei at an EIC with an emphasis on the gluonic gravitational form factors. Then present the experimental activities of the Argonne medium energy group to address the above science at an EIC. It comprises a proposed barrel imaging electromagnetic calorimeter for the ePIC detector, the development of a polarized Li6 ion beam, the development of superconducting nanowire detectors for tagging recoil nuclei in the far-forward region, and an additive manufacturing technology for MCP-photosensors fabrication needed in Ring Imaging Cherenkovs under magnetic fields, and Software/Computing kits for analysis in synergy with a recently approved SciDAQ proposal in collaboration with the theory group at Argonne.
