Key Points

The program aims to enhance understanding of precision QCD at the Electron-Ion Collider.
Gathered theorists, experimentalists, and computer scientists over five weeks
Focused on higher-order perturbative-QCD calculations and nuclear structure
Discussed parton distribution functions and signature observables
Assessed the role of AI in EIC studies and detector development

Created a collaborative environment for discussing advanced QCD techniques
Emphasized the significance of AI in enhancing research outcomes

Abstract

This document summarizes the discussions at the program “PrecisionQCD with the Electron Ion Collider”, held from May to June 2025 at the Institutefor Nuclear Theory (INT) at the University of Washington. The program was cosponsored by the INT and by the Center for Frontiers in Nuclear Science (CFNS,Stony Brook University). Over its five-week duration it brought together about 70theorists, experimentalists and computer scientists all interested in the physics programat the future Electron Ion Collider in preparation at Brookhaven National Laboratory.Key topics at the program were: higher-order perturbative-QCD calculations andtechniques; nuclear structure and tomography; comparisons of phenomenological andlattice determinations of parton distribution functions; identification of signatureobservables for saturated gluons; assessment of the importance of AI techniques forEIC studies and detector development.
