Title:

Designing the TMD-SIDIS Experiment: Simulation-Driven Detector Optimization

As scientists push to understand the structure of matter, Transverse-Momentum Dependent distribution functions (TMDs) have emerged as an important tool. TMDs describe the quark-gluon interactions inside nucleons by mapping the partonic structure. TMDs for tensor-polarized spin-1 targets have not been measured before, but experiments have been proposed to make these measurements. In an effort to reduce the cost of these experiments, it is important to determine where detectors will be placed before the experiment begins. My goal is to map the kinematic variables of the studied interactions and verify that detectors are being placed in the right location to maximize efficiency.
