Abstract This White Paper aims at highlighting the important benefits in the science reach of
the EIC. High luminosity operation is generally desirable, as it enables producing and …

We review the theoretical and experimental progress in the Glauber model of multiple
nucleon and/or parton scatterings after the last 10–15 years of operation with proton and …

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 …

We introduce a global analysis of collinearly factorized nuclear parton distribution functions
(PDFs) including, for the first time, data constraints from LHC proton–lead collisions. In …

A bstract We present a model-independent determination of the nuclear parton distribution
functions (nPDFs) using machine learning methods and Monte Carlo techniques based on …

Emergent bulk properties of matter governed by the strong nuclear force give rise to physical
phenomena across vastly different scales, ranging from the shape of atomic nuclei to the …

We present the new nCTEQ15 set of nuclear parton distribution functions (PDFs) with
uncertainties. This fit extends the CTEQ proton PDFs to include the nuclear dependence …

We review the experimental and theoretical status of open heavy-flavor (HF) production in
high-energy nuclear collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large …

The ultrarelativistic heavy-ion programs at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large
Hadron Collider have entered an era of quantitative analysis of quantum chromodynamics …

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