Description
The Electron-Ion Collider will explore the internal structure of nucleons and nuclei with unprecedented precision. By colliding polarized electrons with polarized protons and a range of nuclei across a broad kinematic regime, the EIC will enable multi-dimensional probes of nucleon structure, including TMDs, GPDs, and other partonic correlations. These measurements are essential for understanding the origin of nucleon spin, mass, and other emergent QCD phenomena.
In this talk, I will present the status of the ePIC Collaboration and its science program, briefly reviewing the detector design and capabilities as well as the collaboration organization. I will outline the physics priorities, highlight key goals enabled by the EIC, and note how ePIC’s program complements and extends ongoing efforts across the global hadron physics community.
