AFTER@LHC: a precision machine to study the interface between particle and nuclear physics

Abstract

We outline the opportunities to study with high precision the interface between nuclear and particle physics, which are offered by a next generation and multi-purpose fixed-target experiment exploiting the proton and ion LHC beams extracted by a bent crystal.
