Description
After decades of planning, the design and construction of a new Electron Ion Collider (EIC) are underway at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. This new versatile machine for studying fundamental properties of nuclear matter will map the emergence of nucleonic properties from the dynamical interactions of the dense partonic medium. In addition to flagship measurements addressing connections between the partonic interactions and nucleon properties such as mass and spin, the EIC will allow complete three-dimensional imaging of inner-nucleon structures in position and momentum space. The availability of a wide range of ion species at EIC will allow us to search for gluon saturation thresholds and explore if the saturation phenomena result in gluonic matter with universal properties in all systems. New insights will be revealed into the interactions of energetic partonic probes with nuclear medium and how the presence of such medium affects the hadronization process.
