7 Nu Xu7/7STAR Analysis Meeting, Junior Meeting, April 16 th, 2012, BNL STAR Summary 1)RHIC: Dedicated facility for studying matter with QCD degrees of freedom: - Properties of QGP - Sea quark and gluon contributions to proton helicity structure - QCD critical point, phase boundary 2) Future: EIC (eRHIC, 2022 - …) - Partonic structures of nucleon and nuclei - Dynamical evolution from cold nuclear matter to hot QGP Phase Structures of QCD Matter

8 "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” -- S. Jobs, 2005
