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 …

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 summarize the ongoing scientific program of the 12 GeV Continuous Electron Beam
Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) and give an outlook into future opportunities. The program …

This article reviews our current understanding of how the internal quark structure of a
nucleon bound in nuclei differs from that of a free nucleon. The interpretation of …

Quantum Monte Carlo methods have proved valuable to study the structure and reactions of
light nuclei and nucleonic matter starting from realistic nuclear interactions and currents …

The atomic nucleus is made of protons and neutrons (nucleons), which are themselves
composed of quarks and gluons. Understanding how the quark–gluon structure of a nucleon …

Determining the Equation of State (EOS) of dense neutron-rich nuclear matter is a shared
goal of both nuclear physics and astrophysics. Except possible phase transitions, the density …

The atomic nucleus is one of the densest and most complex quantum-mechanical systems
in nature. Nuclei account for nearly all the mass of the visible Universe. The properties of …

Various kinds of isovector nucleon effective masses are used in the literature to characterize
the momentum/energy dependence of the nucleon symmetry potential or self-energy due to …

The atomic nucleus is composed of two different kinds of fermions: protons and neutrons. If
the protons and neutrons did not interact, the Pauli exclusion principle would force the …
