• Calculations possible in perturbation theory assuming coupling is small, at high Q

• Problematic at low Q fast rise of S(Q)

No guidance on partonic dynamics

Do we really “understand” QCD?While there is no reason to doubt QCD, our level of

understanding of QCD remains extremely unsatisfactory: both at low & high energy

• Can we explain basic properties of hadrons such as mass and spin from the QCD degrees of freedom at low energy?

• What are the effective degrees of freedom at high energy?– How do these degrees of freedom interact with each

other and with other hard probes?– What can we learn from them about confinement &

universal features of the theory of QCD?

After ~20+ yrs of experimental & theoretical progress, we are only beginning to understand the many body dynamics of QCD

Generation of Mass – Gluons in QCD

• Protons and neutrons form most of the mass of the visible universe

• 99% of the nucleon mass is due to self generated gluon fields– Similarity between p, n mass indicates that

gluon dynamics gluon dynamics is identicalidentical & overwhelmingly important

• Lattice QCD supports this

– Few x 1034 cm-2 sec-1 for high energy– 1033-34 cm-2 sec-1 for low energy• Both plan a staged realization

•Both designs have settled on more than one IR point•Both machine designs integrate detector design in to the machine lattice•Both detectors concepts include a central solenoid and forward dipole, extensive low mass tracking for low x and good particle ID

Only then can we calculate the effective sensitivity per event not seen
