Abstract
The extended and precise investigation of the nucleon (spin) structure is a cornerstone of the EIC initiative; the availability of deuteron and 3He polarized beams will offer unprecedented opportunities to obtain information on the neutron spin structure comparable to those of the proton; the combination of these data will allow to deepen knowledge and understanding of many aspects of the nucleon spin physics: from a more precise test of the Bjorken sum rule to a more detailed picture of the flavor structure of the nucleon sea, as well as a precise determination of different spin and transverse momentum dependent functions, at leading and higher twists. Moreover, almost close kinematics and large acceptance detectors typical of a collider, will potentially offer new measurement perspectives beyond the asymmetries.

How to cite
Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating
very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and
readers, and in "proceeding" format
which is more detailed and complete.
