The Science and the Status of the US Electron Ion Collider<br>

Abstract:&nbsp;<br>
Massless gluons and almost massless quarks, through their interactions, generate most of&nbsp;<br>
the mass of the nucleons. Without gluons, there would be no nucleons, no nuclei, no&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 and their properties&nbsp;is un-understood. Currently operating facilities and their future upgrades are unlikely to&nbsp;address them. A new electron-proton, electron-ion collider with high-energy, high-luminosity&nbsp;and polarized beams was recently recommended by the
 US Nuclear Science Advisory&nbsp;Committee (NSAC) to address those important unanswered questions.&nbsp;I will discuss the&nbsp;science of this future facility and present the status of the project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
