Operated by the Southeastern Universities Research Association for the U. S. Department of Energy Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility Rolf Ent CIPANP 05/23/ Science Science addressed by ELIC: How do quarks and gluons provide the binding and spin of the nucleons? How do quarks and gluons evolve into hadrons? How does nuclear binding originate from quarks and gluons? 12 GeVELIC (x 0.01) Glue ÷100

Operated by the Southeastern Universities Research Association for the U. S. Department of Energy Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility Rolf Ent CIPANP 05/23/ Science  Clear scientific case by 12-GeV JLab Upgrade, addressing outstanding issues in Hadron Physics: Unprecedented measurements to region in x (> 0.1) where basic three-quark structure of nucleons dominates. Measurements of correlations between quarks, mainly through Deep-Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) and constraints by nucleon form factors, in pursuit of the Generalized Parton Distributions. Finishing the job on the transition from hadronic to quark-gluon degrees of freedom.  At present, uncertain what range of Q 2 really required to determine complete structure of the nucleon. Most likely Q 2 ~ 10 GeV 2 ? Upcoming years wealth of data from RHIC-Spin, COMPASS, HERMES, JHF, JLab, etc. DVCS (JLab-12!) and single-spin asymmetries possible at lower Q 2 Range of Q 2 directly linked to required luminosity  What energy and luminosity, fixed-target facility or collider (or both)? 25 GeV Fixed-Target Facility? Electron-Light Ion Collider, center-of-mass energy of GeV?
