Exploring nuclear modification using one-point energy correlator at the electron-ion collider
Abstract
A bstract We study the one-point energy correlator (OPEC) at both the back-to-back and collinear limits in electron-proton and electron-nucleus collisions. We provide the factorization formalism for the two types of OPEC and present phenomenological predictions in the kinematic region relevant for the future Electron-Ion Collider. Focusing on cold nuclear matter effects in electron-nucleus scattering, we demonstrate that the OPEC serves as a powerful probe of the transverse momentum dependent physics and in characterizing the medium-induced transverse momentum broadening in cold nuclear matter.
