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 …

Lepton scattering is an established ideal tool for studying inner structure of small particles
such as nucleons as well as nuclei. As a future high energy nuclear physics project, an …

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 review the present theoretical and empirical knowledge for α s, the fundamental
coupling underlying the interactions of quarks and gluons in Quantum Chromodynamics …

Recently, Brodsky, Hwang and Schmidt have proposed a new mechanism that gives a
transverse spin symmetry at leading twist in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering. I show …

The last decade has seen a marked shift in how the internal structure of hadrons is
understood. Modern experimental facilities, new theoretical techniques for the continuum …

We study the cross section for one-particle inclusive deep inelastic scattering off the nucleon
for low transverse momentum of the detected hadron. We decompose the cross section in …
