Toward an Electron-Ion Collider: Physics, project status, future plans Alberto Accardi, Vadim Guzey, Alexei Prokudin, Christian Weiss An electron-proton/ion collider (EIC) is widely being discussed as a future facility for QCD-based nuclear physics in the U.S. and worldwide and represents an interesting option for JLab beyond the 12 GeV Upgrade. We attempt to give a concise summary of the envisaged physics program and the status and future plans in this project. In particular, we report on the results of the recent 10-week INT program devoted to EIC physics. This special seminar is intended to bring our colleagues up to date on the recent developments in the EIC project and the involvement of JLab Theory, in order to enable wider discussion of these topics.
