Precision studies of QCD in the low energy domain of the EIC

This White Paper aims at highlighting the important benefits in the science reach of the EIC. High luminosity operation is generally desirable, as it enables producing and harvesting scientific results in a shorter time period. Furthermore, it becomes crucial for programs that would require many months or even years of operation at lower luminosity.

High precision measurement of Compton scattering in the 5 GeV region

The cross section of atomic electron Compton scattering $\gamma + e \rightarrow \gamma^\prime + e^\prime $ was measured in the 4.40--5.475 GeV photon beam energy region by the {\em PrimEx} collaboration at Jefferson Lab with an accuracy of 2\% and less. The results are consistent with theoretical predictions that include next-to-leading order radiative corrections. The measurements provide the first high precision test of this elementary QED process at beam energies greater than 0.1 GeV.

High precision photon flux determination for photon tagging experiments

The Jefferson Laboratory PrimEx Collaboration has developed and implemented a method to control the tagged photon flux in photoproduction experiments at the 1% level over the photon energy range from 4.9 to 5.5 GeV. This method has been successfully implemented in a high precision measurement of the neutral pion lifetime. Here, we outline the experimental equipment and the analysis techniques used to accomplish this. These include the use of a total absorption counter for absolute flux calibration, a pair spectrometer for online relative flux monitoring, and a new method for post-bremsstrahlung electron counting.

Spin physics at IHEP

IHEP has rich program devoted to the spin physics studies. New experimental program will significantly increase the number of reaction investigated at large kinematic region. The experiment will measure different polarization variables in inclusive and exclusive reactions, including single- and double-spin asymmetry, polarization, spin transfer parameters. One of the most important task is the creation of the polarized beam and especially polarized anti-proton beam.
