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 …

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” …

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 …

An overwhelming number of theoretical predictions for hadron colliders require parton
distribution functions (PDFs), which are an important ingredient of theory infrastructure for …

Since the parton model was introduced by Feynman more than 50 years ago, much has
been learned about the partonic structure of the proton through a large body of high-energy …

The strong force which binds hadrons is described by the theory of quantum
chromodynamics (QCD). Determining the character and manifestations of QCD is one of the …

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 …

For the first time, we present a lattice QCD determination of Mellin moments of unpolarized
generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of the proton from an analysis of the quasi-GPD …

Traditionally, lattice QCD computations of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) have
been carried out in a symmetric frame, where the transferred momentum is symmetrically …

Within the theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the rich structure of hadrons can be
quantitatively characterized, among others, using a basis of universal nonperturbative …
