ECCE unpolarized TMD measurements

Abstract

We performed feasibility studies for various measurements that are related to unpolarized TMD distribution and fragmentation functions. The processes studied include semi-inclusive Deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) where single hadrons (pions and kaons) were detected in addition to the scattered DIS lepton. The single hadron cross sections and multiplicities were extracted as a function of the DIS variables xx and Q2Q^2, as well as the semi-inclusive variables zz, which corresponds to the momentum fraction the detected hadron carries relative to the struck parton and PTP_T, which corresponds to the transverse momentum of the detected hadron relative to the virtual photon. The expected statistical precision of such measurements is extrapolated to accumulated luminosities of 10 fb1^{-1} and potential systematic uncertainties are approximated given the deviations between true and reconstructed yields.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figures, to be submitted in joint ECCE proposal NIM-A volum
