Advances in machine learning methods provide tools that have broad applicability in
scientific research. These techniques are being applied across the diversity of nuclear …

Abstract The Forward Physics Facility (FPF) is a proposal to create a cavern with the space
and infrastructure to support a suite of far-forward experiments at the Large Hadron Collider …

High energy collisions at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produce a large
number of particles along the beam collision axis, outside of the acceptance of existing LHC …

The theory of the strong force, quantum chromodynamics, describes the proton in terms of
quarks and gluons. The proton is a state of two up quarks and one down quark bound by …

Abstract Quark–Gluon Plasma (QGP), a QCD state of matter created in ultra-relativistic
heavy-ion collisions, has remarkable properties including, for example, a low shear viscosity …

We present an updated determination of nuclear parton distributions (nPDFs) from a global
NLO QCD analysis of hard processes in fixed-target lepton-nucleus and proton-nucleus …

The physics of the gravitational form factors of the proton, as well as their understanding
within quantum chromodynamics, has advanced significantly in the past two decades …

We present a review of the conceptual basis, current knowledge, and recent progress
regarding global analysis of nuclear parton distribution functions (PDFs). After introducing …

We discuss our present knowledge of α s, the fundamental running coupling or effective
charge of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). A precise understanding of the running of α s …

Abstract This White Paper presents an overview of the current status and future perspective
of QCD research, based on the community inputs and scientific conclusions from the 2022 …
