Plenary

The goal of the ultra-relativistic heavy ion program is to study Quantum Chromodynamics under finite temperature and density conditions. After a couple of decades of experiment, the focus at the top RHIC and the LHC energy has evolved to quantitative understanding of properties of the hot and dense medium, namely the strongly-coupled Quark Gluon Plasma (sQGP) created in these heavy-ion...

Plenary

The Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) is the phenomenon of electric charge separation along the external magnetic field that is induced by the chirality imbalance. In relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, local chirality imbalance of left- and right-handed quarks may be generated, which is related to the topology of gluon gauge fields. With the presence of an extremely strong magnetic field, the...

302. Physics with an Electron-Ion Collider

Plenary

An Electron-Ion Collider, proposed in the U.S. as facility upgrades to Jefferson Lab or the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, would offer unique capabilities to study quarks and gluons in nucleons and nuclei using flexible collision energies, high luminosity, and high polarization. It would make it possible to image quarks and gluons in nucleons and nuclei, to characterize their QCD dynamics,...
