Description

The future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will be the next-generation facility focused on QCD research, bringing the age of quantitative QCD to maturity. Lattice QCD research will continue to play an important role in setting the stage for the EIC in the upcoming decade, as both the precision of lattice calculations keeps improving and the types of quantities and observables that can be calculated continues to expand. This talk will explore and reflect on the interplay between EIC physics and lattice QCD research.
