A high-luminosity polarized Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) has been recommended for future construction in the 2015 NSAC Long-Range Plan. This facility will enable a next-generation physics program aimed at exploring the three-dimensional structure of the nucleon in QCD (spin, spatial distributions, orbital motion), the dynamics of quarks and gluons in nuclei (nuclear interactions, quark/gluon...
Experimental programs in the fields of nuclear and particle physics are searching for evidence of physics beyond that explained by current theories. Indirect searches using precise measurements of well predicted Standard Model observables allow highly targeted tests that can reach mass and energy scales beyond those directly accessible by today’s high energy accelerators. From our precise...
The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics so far successfully explains almost all particle phenomena, including the recently discovered Higgs boson. However, there are several reasons by which physicists believe that the SM is not the ultimate theory, and that there must be New Physics. Critical tests of fundamental symmetries play important role in search for physics beyond the SM. The...
