Particle and high energy physics has been a fascinating research field in which scientists globally have been making combined efforts to understand the building blocks of matter and the force that binds them together. The study requires diverse and skilled manpower at various academic levels such as undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate, and faculty levels. In addition, mathematical, physics,...
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory will explore in detail the quantum world of quarks and gluons at distance scales less than a trillionth the width of a strand of hair. Though gluons are massless, and quarks nearly so, the emergent dynamics of these elementary objects in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) describes the vast bulk of the mass of the...
A high-luminosity high-energy polarized electron-ion/proton collider (EIC) with variable Center of Mass Energies (CME) between 30-140 GeV will be built jointly by Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and Jefferson Laboratory (JLab) at BNL in New York, US. When completed it will be the only polarized e-p/light-ion collider and the first and only e-Heavy-Ion collider in the world. The EIC is...
