The ALICE experiment was proposed in 1993, to study strongly-interacting matter at extreme
energy densities and temperatures. This proposal entailed a comprehensive investigation of …

Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

This report describes the physics case, the resulting detector requirements, and the evolving
detector concepts for the experimental program at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The EIC …

Compelling experimental evidence suggests the existence of new physics beyond the well-
established and tested standard model of particle physics. Various current and upcoming …

Particle physics is a branch of science aiming at discovering the fundamental laws of matter
and forces. Graph neural networks are trainable functions which operate on graphs—sets of …

The top quark mass is one of the most intriguing parameters of the standard model (SM). Its
value indicates a Yukawa coupling close to unity, and the resulting strong ties to Higgs …

In recent years, machine learning has emerged as a powerful computational tool and novel
problem-solving perspective for physics, offering new avenues for studying strongly …

How to represent a jet is at the core of machine learning on jet physics. Inspired by the
notion of point clouds, we propose a new approach that considers a jet as an unordered set …

Abstract This White Paper aims at highlighting the important benefits in the science reach of
the EIC. High luminosity operation is generally desirable, as it enables producing and …

There is a growing sense of 'crisis' in the dark-matter particle community, which arises from
the absence of evidence for the most popular candidates for dark-matter particles—such as …
