TMD Shape Function and Its Application at the Electron-Ion Collider

Explore the TMD Shape Function and its application at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) in this 32-minute lecture by Luca Maxia. Delve into the intricacies of proton and neutron structure as part of the International School and Workshop on Probing Hadron Structure at the EIC. Learn about key questions the EIC will investigate, including quark and gluon distribution in nucleons, the origin of visible matter's mass, proton spin composition, and gluon saturation in heavy ion collisions. Gain insights into the EIC's potential to probe nucleon structure at unprecedented levels, offering access to previously unseen information due to its high luminosity and wide kinematical coverage.
