DIS 2022 - Santiago de Compostela, Spain
May 07, 2022
In the week of May 2, the DIS 2022 conference was held (in person!) in historical pilgrimage town of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. This is the 29th in the series of annual workshops on Deep-Inelastic Scattering (DIS) and Related Subjects. Our Rice group member Isaac Upsal attended in person and presented on behalf of the STAR collaboration work, including his, on "Nuclear Tomography with Polarized Photon-Gluon Collisions".
Isaac presented STAR measurements from diffractive photo-nuclear interactions in ultra-peripheral Au+Au and p+Au collisions at √𝑠𝑁𝑁=200 GeV and from U+U collisions at √𝑠𝑁𝑁=193 GeV. These measurements are used to measure the strong interaction radius of gold and uranium nuclei at high energy. He showed first measurements of the neutron skin of uranium measured at high energies and discussed the implications for experiments at the future Electron Ion Collider, where similar diffractive photo-nuclear interactions are an essential component in the planned physics program.
