Description
Science is entering a new era in the investigation of nuclear matter,
driven by a wealth of precision data from the JLab, HERA, RHIC, & LHC
experiments. The nCTEQ project employs advanced theoretical techniques
to analyze these data sets comprehensively. While this analysis is
performed within the framework of the QCD parton model, we leverage
methods and results from Lattice QCD, Machine Learning, as well as
other techniques. This work also forms the foundation for discoveries
at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), which will address
fundamental questions about nuclei's mass, spin, and internal
structure. The culmination of these efforts will produce the most
detailed picture to date of nuclei, and advance the opportunity to
possibly “solve” the underlying QCD theory of strong interactions.
