Understanding the Glue - The "Super-God Particle" That Binds Us All

Delve into the mysteries of particle physics in this captivating lecture by Distinguished Professor Abhay Deshpande from Stony Brook University. Explore the fundamental building blocks of the universe, protons and neutrons, and uncover the enigmatic interactions between quarks and gluons. Learn about the challenges in understanding the origin of proton spin and mass, and discover the predicted novel state of saturated gluonic matter. Gain insights into the construction of a new collider designed to solve puzzles in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Hear about selective science drivers of the Electron Ion Collider (EIC) and consider joining this cutting-edge research effort, especially if you're an early career scientist. Benefit from Deshpande's extensive experience in experimental research at international laboratories as he shares his expertise in quark-gluon dynamics and probes various aspects of QCD.
