We are pleased to announce an upcoming series of summer workshops being organized jointly between the laboratory and the Jefferson Lab Users Organization (JLUO) to probe the science that would be opened up by a higher energy electron beam (~20-24 GeV) at Jefferson Lab. We are particularly interested in identifying key measurements that are not possible to access at 12 GeV, that initially utilize largely existing or already-planned Hall equipment, and that leverage the unique capabilities of luminosity and precision possible at Jefferson Lab in the EIC era.
In the first direct probes of the core of the nuclear interaction, researchers find that leading theories on interactions between protons and neutrons describe them well, even in conditions where the protons and neutrons strongly overlap, such as in neutron stars
