Description

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) aims to explore the mysterious internal structure of protons by precisely probing their quark and gluon constituents through experiments. But observing these particles is just the first step—truly understanding them requires detailed insights from the theory known as Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), which governs the behavior of these tiny building blocks. Lattice QCD, a powerful computational method based on first-principle QCD, offers the essential framework to interpret experimental findings, enabling us to decode the complex interactions and structures observed by the EIC. In this talk, I will highlight how lattice QCD bridges experimental results with fundamental theory, transforming experimental knowledge of protons into genuine understanding.
