Valence Quark and Gluon TMDs of Spin-1 QCD System: A Light-front Hamiltonian Approach

Explore the intricacies of valence quark and gluon transverse momentum-dependent distributions (TMDs) in spin-1 QCD systems through a light-front Hamiltonian approach in this 22-minute conference talk. Delivered by Satvir Kaur at the International School and Workshop on Probing Hadron Structure at the Electron-Ion Collider, hosted by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, this presentation delves into cutting-edge research relevant to the upcoming Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) at Brookhaven National Lab. Gain insights into the internal structure of protons and neutrons, the distribution of quarks and gluons, and the role of orbital angular momentum in hadron spin composition. Understand how this research contributes to answering fundamental questions about the makeup of visible matter in the universe and the potential for gluon saturation in heavy ion collisions.
