quark-antiquark pair production in a strong color field: toward precision

Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: We consider scattering of a quark-antiquark pair from the strong color field of a high energy proton or nucleus target in the Color Glass Condensate formalism where due to the high energies the target proton or nucleus is modeled as a shock wave of color. This scattering cross section can then be convoluted with the wave function of a virtual photon squared to give the differential cross section for production of a quark-antiquak dijet (or dihadron) in Deep Inelastic Scattering (DIS). We then discuss the latest progress made toward calculating corrections to this process which aim to increase the precision of theoretical calculations in time for the upcoming Electron-Ion Collider (EIC).
