RA.00001: Electroweak and BSM Physics at the Electron Ion Collider Invited Speaker: Sonny Mantry The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) is primarily focused on detailed studies of QCD and nuclear structure. However, the combination of its high luminosity, wide kinematic reach, polarized beams, and variety in nuclear targets also allows for a program of electroweak physics and constraining physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). In this talk, I will give an overview that includes constraining the weak neutral current couplings, lepton flavor violation and other BSM scenarios, and the electroweak structure functions.

RA.00002: Electroweak and BSM physics at the EIC Invited Speaker: Yulia Furletova Despite the fact that Electroweak (EW) and Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics are not main objectives of the Electron Ion Collider(EIC), certain EW/BSM precision measurements could be performed there. The high luminosity and much cleaner environment offered at the EIC (compared to the hadron machines) would allow precision measurements in electroweak physics, especially important at high-x region. The machine and detector capabilities would allow to perform a flavor separation. During the talk perspective for Neutral current (gammaZ) and Charged current measurements at EIC will be presented. Also, possible searches for BSM physics ( for example, for e-tau charged lepton favor violation, or W_R) at an EIC will be discussed. [Preview Abstract] |

RA.00003: Measurements of the weak neutral current with parity violating electron scattering Invited Speaker: Juliette Mammei In this talk I will highlight recent developments and future directions in probing electroweak and BSM physics via parity-violating electron scattering (PVES) at facilities such as Mainz, JLab and the upcoming EIC. Many of these PVES experiments measure the parity-violating asymmetry in the scattering of longitudinally polarized electrons from stationary targets in order to determine the weak mixing angle, sin$^2\theta_w$, which has a definite prediction in the Standard Model. The EIC will provide the opportunity to perform such tests using polarized electrons in a collider. Deviations from the predicted value provide access to multi-TeV mass scales of new physics due to the extreme precision of the measured value. I will discuss weak mixing angle measurements via ep and ee scattering, presenting recent results and future prospects. [Preview Abstract] |
