Selected design issues of a dedicated facility for generic QCD studies

Abstract

QCD, even if presently out of fashion, deserves a dedicated, generic research program providing new challenges for the theory and aiming at understanding hadronic matter and vacuum in terms of quark and gluon degrees of freedom. Such a research program needs a dedicated facility to re-address basic questions which remain unanswered and to open new vistas.
