Welcome to the Center for Frontiers in Nuclear Science

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is essential for our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and in particular the role of  gluons and sea quarks in the structure of nucleons and nuclei. The mission of this Center is to promote and facilitate the realization of the U.S. based EIC by enhancing the science case and collaborations amongst the scientists around the world interested in the EIC.
