TL;DR
The paper advocates for prioritizing the QCD Explorer stage of the LHeC to advance understanding of the universe's mass, strong interactions, and improve parton distribution functions, especially via the gamma-nucleus option.
Contribution
It emphasizes the scientific importance and potential breakthroughs of the QCD Explorer stage, highlighting its role in fundamental physics and QCD studies.
Findings
Potential to elucidate the origin of most of the universe's mass
Enhanced understanding of strong interactions from parton to nuclear levels
Provision of high-precision PDFs for LHC analyses
Abstract
The QCD Explorer will give opportunity to enlighten the origin of the 98.5% portion of the visible universe's mass, clarify the nature of the strong interactions from parton to nuclear level and provide precission pdf's for the LHC. Especially the {\gamma}-nucleus option seems to be very promising for QCD studies.
