Description
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) stands as a groundbreaking facility to illuminate the subatomic world, particularly the structure of nuclear matter. This presentation explores the EIC's potential as a new 'pentaquark factory', enabling not only the discovery of new pentaquarks, but also the precise characterization of their properties. Its extraordinary luminosity and spin polarization capabilities will unlock a new era in exotic hadron research. In this talk, I will demonstrate how the spin-polarized electron-proton collisions at the EIC can produce abundant pentaquarks and determine their spin and parity. Focusing on a heavy pentaquark p_c (uudcc-bar) and a light pentaquark p_s (uudss-bar), both produced via photon-induced processes, the vector-meson dominance model is employed to analyze their production cross sections. This talk draws upon studies published in PRD 105 (2022) 11, 114023 and in arXiv:2402.07392.
