Abstract

We present a dispersive analysis with the aim to extract the Υ\Upsilon-p scattering length from γpΥp\gamma p \to \Upsilon p experiments. In this framework, the imaginary part of the Υ\Upsilon-p forward scattering amplitude is obtained from γpΥp\gamma p \to \Upsilon p cross section measurements, and is constrained at high energies from existing HERA and LHC data. Its real part is calculated through a once-subtracted dispersion relation, and the subtraction constant is proportional to the Υ\Upsilon-p scattering length. We perform a feasibility study for Υ\Upsilon photo-production experiments at an Electron-Ion Collider and discuss the sensitivity and precision that can be reached in the extraction of the Υ\Upsilon-p scattering length.
