Elastic and Deep Inelastic Scattering - Lecture 3

Explore the intricacies of elastic and deep inelastic scattering in this comprehensive lecture, the third in a series delivered by V. Ravindran at the International School and Workshop on Probing Hadron Structure at the Electron-Ion Collider. Delve into the fundamental concepts and advanced theories related to particle interactions, focusing on how these scattering processes contribute to our understanding of hadron structure. Gain insights into the physics that will be explored at the upcoming electron-ion collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Lab, including quark and gluon distributions within nucleons, the origin of proton mass and spin, and the potential for gluon saturation in heavy ion collisions. Benefit from expert explanations on how these scattering techniques will be utilized to probe nucleons at unprecedented levels, offering access to previously unseen information about the building blocks of matter.
