Reduced cross-section in Electron-Ion Colliders at small $x$

Abstract

The nuclear reduced cross section $\sigma^{A}_{r}$, in the kinematic range of the electron-Ion collider with center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=140~\mathrm{GeV}$ and $y{\leq}1$, is discussed. The importance of the nuclear longitudinal structure function $F^{A}_{L}$ and its behavior owing to the impact parameter for the heavy and light nucleus of Pb-208 and C-12 at $Q^2=5$ and $10~\mathrm{GeV}^2$ is considered. The dependence of the ratios $R^{A}_{F_{L}}$ and $R^{A}_{\sigma}$ on the impact parameter and the expanding point of the gluon density at small $x$ are investigated. The factorized form of parton distributions in nuclei is used in HIJING2.0 model.
