sPHENIX cold QCD topical group

[Ralf Seidl <rseidl AT rcf2.rhic.bnl.gov>]

Hi John,

a very nice talk as always. I have one suggestion on page 20: You 
mention the spin dependent fragmentation which is of course relevant, 
but the main goal of the Collins measurements is the quark transversity 
and in particular the tensor charges. The h- (as pi- proxy) Collins 
measurement would give us an increased x reach at relatively high scales 
of the d quark transversity in particular.

Since you mention the cold QCD plan and the workshop we held last year, 
maybe you could also advertise the next workshop this June as people 
might be interested in it:
RBRC workshop on Synergies of pp and pA collisions with an Electron-Ion 
Collider from June 26 - 28 2017 at BNL
https://www.bnl.gov/pppa17/

Cheers,

Ralf
