DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Alexei Prokudin (PSU and Jefferson Lab)\n\nThe 2027 
 CFNS Summer School on the Physics of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) hoste
 d by the Center for Frontiers in Nuclear Science (CFNS) at Stony Brook Uni
 versity\, USA\, June 7-18\, 2027. This will be the eighth in the series th
 at started in 2019. \n\nThe school will feature lectures and tutorials on
  theoretical and experimental topics related to the physics of the EIC. Ad
 ditionally\, the workshop will include "hands-on" tutorial sessions. The w
 orkshop is ideally suited for advanced graduate students and postdocs in n
 uclear and particle physics.\nThe Electron-Ion Collider is the world’s f
 irst polarized electron-nucleon (ep) and electron-nucleus (eA) collider pl
 anned for construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island\, 
 New York\, by the U.S. Department of Energy. The ePIC detector collaborati
 on has been formed and is working with the EIC Project to realize the firs
 t collider detector. The possibility of a second detector in the future is
  under discussion. The Electron-Ion Collider will be a discovery machine f
 or unlocking the secrets of the "glue" that binds the building blocks (pro
 tons and neutrons) of visible matter in the universe. The EIC will start c
 onstruction in mid-2025\, and the first collisions are planned for the ear
 ly 2030s.\nThe key physics questions that the EIC will address are:\n\nHow
  do the nucleonic properties\, such as mass and spin\, emerge from partons
  and their underlying interactions?\nHow are partons inside the nucleon di
 stributed in both momentum and position space?\nHow do color-charged quark
 s and gluons\, and jets\, interact with a nuclear medium? How do the confi
 ned hadronic states emerge from these quarks and gluons? How do the quark-
 gluon interactions create nuclear binding?\nHow does a dense nuclear envir
 onment affect the dynamics of quarks and gluons\, their correlations\, and
  their interactions? What happens to the gluon density in nuclei? Does it 
 saturate at high energy\, giving rise to gluonic matter or a gluonic phase
  with universal properties in all nuclei and even in nucleons?\n\nThis ser
 ies of EIC Summer workshops are planned to introduce participants to all a
 spects of the EIC - science\, detector\, and collider challenges so that t
 hey can enter the exciting field of EIC physics at the QCD Frontier.\nWe t
 ypically host & support 35 participants for this workshop. Participants 
 in the workshop will receive support with lodging throughout the workshop.
  There is no registration fee for the school. Applications are open\, and 
 the priority deadline is 20 January 2027.  The workshops are held in per
 son at Stony Brook University.\nThe workshop features lectures and tutoria
 ls on theoretical and experimental topics related to the physics of the EI
 C.  Additionally\, the workshops include "hands-on" tutorial sessions. Th
 e workshops are ideally suited for advanced graduate students and postdocs
  in nuclear and particle physics.\nLecturers from the previous year:\n\nAb

  Standard arrival date is Sunday evening at the dorms on 6 June 2027. Depa
 rture is Saturday morning 19 June 2027.\nWarning: accommodation scam from 
 TravellerPoint and Royal-VisitPlease be careful if you receive e-mails fro
 m companies offering you help with accommodation or similar services. The 
 e-mail typically asks about arrival and departure dates and offers a booki
 ng\, after which they ask for credit card details. Please ignore the emai
 ls and do not reply to or click on any link given by them. \n \n\nhttps:
