AIM AND SCOPE

QCD is an incredibly rich theory of most of the visible matter, that
especially in hadronic and nuclear physics is yet to fully reveal its
secrets. During the last 3 years the American nuclear physics community
came together and formulated an engaging nuclear physics program for an
Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) that would explore this QCD frontier. So far
the EIC physics program has been discussed mostly with regard to
technical feasibility and in relation to the RHIC and JLab 12 GeV
programs. In this workshop we aim to discuss the EIC nuclear physics
program in the wider context of future QCD experiments and facilities
worldwide (COMPASS, AFTER at LHC, LHeC, JPARC, GSI, HIAF, ...).

We specifically want to focus on:

Synergies in physics topics
Complementarity
Cross-over and novel approaches
The aim is to engage and involve the different communities interested in
related physics topics at these facilities. The program will be
structured around physics topics of common interest, with technical
information provided in suitable summary form to enable joint
discussions, for which ample time will be reserved after a set of short
presentations on each physics topic.

TOPICS

Future facilities for QCD
3D nucleon structure: spin and flavor
3D nucleon structure: spatial imaging
3D nucleon structure: orbital motion
Color fields in nuclei
 From color charge to hadrons: current vs. target fragmentation

You are welcome to participate in the workshop. One of our main goals is
to have discussions of new facilities in the broad community, so
your participation is very important for us.
