This White Paper presents the science case of an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), focused on the
structure and interactions of gluon-dominated matter, with the intent to articulate it to the …

We give an overview of the theory for generalized parton distributions. Topics covered are
their general properties and physical interpretation, the possibility to explore the three …

The most non-trivial of the established microscopic theories of physics is quantum
chromodynamics, QCD, the theory of the strong interaction. A critical link between theory …

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” …

We provide a rigorous basis for factorization for a large class of non-leptonic two-body B-
meson decays in the heavy-quark limit. The resulting factorization formula incorporates …

The physics programme and the design are described of a new collider for particle and
nuclear physics, the Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC), in which a newly built electron …

Applications of perturbative QCD to deeply virtual Compton scattering and hard exclusive
electroproduction processes require a generalization of usual parton distributions for the …

There are two mass generating mechanisms in the standard model of particle physics (SM).
One is related to the Higgs boson and fairly well understood. The other is embedded in …

The generalized parton distributions, introduced nearly a decade ago, have emerged as a
universal tool to describe hadrons in terms of quark and gluonic degrees of freedom. They …

We outline in detail the properties of generalized parton distributions (GPDs), which contain
new information on the structure of hadrons and which enter the description of hard …
