We discuss the prospects of using jets as precision probes in electron-nucleus collisions at the future Electron-Ion Collider. Jets produced in deep-inelastic scattering can be calibrated by a measurement of the scattered electron. Such…
Multiplicity data up to 200 GeV in e+e- annihilation are described well by the two-stage model based on pQCD and suggested the phenomenological scheme of hadronization. This model confirms the fragmentation mechanism of hadronization (in…
Enhanced proton-neutron interactions occur in heavy nuclei along a trajectory of approximately equal numbers of valence protons and neutrons. This is also closely aligned with the trajectory of the saturation of quadrupole deformation. The…

Efficient detection of spectator fragments is key to the main topics at an electron-ion collider (eIC). Any process which leads to emission of fragments or $\gamma$'s breaks coherence in diffractive processes. Therefore this is equivalent…
An overview is given on the experimental study of quark-gluon matter produced in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, with emphasis on recent measurements at the Large Hadron Collider.
In this proceeding, I review what we have learned, and what we will be able to learn, about low-$x$ physics from proton-nucleus ($pA$) collisions at RHIC and the LHC, and how this complements future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) measurements.…
Reliable knowledge of parton distributions at large x is crucial for many searches for new physics signals in the next generation of collider experiments. Although these are generally well determined in the small and medium x range, it has…
