Description
A high luminosity polarized Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) with high and
variable energy will offer unique opportunities to study the spin of the
nucleon, its internal dynamics, and low-x phenomena. The nuclear science
community aims to realize such a collider in the United States as an
upgrade to either the existing Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider or the
Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. This talk will discuss the
status and scientific prospects for low-x and spin physics at such an EIC.
