Title PVEMC: Isolating the flavor-dependent EMC effect using parity-violating elastic scattering in SoLID
Abstract In order to better understand the EMC effect, we propose a clean and precise measurement of the flavor dependence of the EMC effect using parity-violating deep inelastic scattering on a 48Ca target. This measurement will provide an extremely sensitive test for flavor dependence in the modification of nuclear parton distribution functions (PDFs) for neutron-rich nuclei. A measurement of the flavor dependence will provide new and vital information and help to explain nucleon modification at the quark level. In addition to helping understand the origin of the EMC effect, a flavor-dependent nuclear pdf modification could significantly impact a range of processes, including neutrino-nucleus scattering, nuclear Drell-Yan processes, and e-A observables at the Electron-Ion Collider. The parity-violating asymmetry APV from 48Ca using an 11 GeV beam at 80 µA will be measured using the SoLID detector in its PVDIS configuration. In 68 days of data taking, we will reach 0.7 ? 1.3% statist
