Description
Quarkonium in exclusive electro- and photoproduction provides for a unique probe to the gluonic structure of the nucleon. A new generation of experiments at Jefferson Lab in the 12 GeV era, and at the electron-ion collider (EIC) will use near-threshold quarkonium production to study topics related to the role of the quantum anomalous energy in the origin of the proton mass, the nature of the color Van der Waals force, and the existence of the LHCb hidden-charm pentaquark. I will discuss the current and future threshold quarkonium program at Jefferson Lab and the EIC.
