View source for EEEMCAL Physics Meeting Summary (8/30/22)

Talking points:

* EM calorimeters (electron endcap and barrel) are absolutely essential from day one. They are not add-on

* Approach: develop strategy and science first, then reach out to EIC PM and/or funding agencies again for feedback

* Physics topics to put forward for EEEMCAL MSRI pre-proposal - main feature: detection and identification of the scattered electron

::* Inclusive polarized: Gluon spin structure - gluon saturation (go from p to A)

::* Inclusive: F_L --> unpolarized, Rosenbluth function of angle - inclusive SF detection, doesn't need polarized beam and gets into gluon structure)

::* Inclusive on nuclei --> nuclear PDFs (F2) - on the way to gluon saturation

::* Exclusive: DVCS + eA

* '''Action Items:'''

::* Look for plots towards the pre-proposal
:::* Gluon saturation (Renee)
:::* F_L (Richard)
:::* F2 (Renee)
:::* DVCS angular distribution of photon from DVCS (Richard)

::* Develop a way to demonstrate that the EMCals are essential for the physics (cannot be done without these detectors)
:::* Comparison of simulation projections with and "without" EMCals in backward and barrel - "without" could be with a very poor calorimeter, e.g., ultra-thin (1mm thick?) etc.

::* Create a space in the EEEMCAL Wiki to collect information for the pre-proposal (Tanja)

::* Circulate solicitation of the NSF MSRI (Tanja)

::* Circulate example pre-proposals (Tanja)
