Science Requirements and Detector Concepts for the Electron-Ion Collider

The Electron-Ion Collider

The future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is a proposed new facility to collide high-energy electrons with beams of polarized protons/light nuclei and unpolarized nuclei. We overview the goals of the project and key measurements at the EIC. We also briefly comment on recent developments of the project.

An Electron-Ion Collider at Jefferson lab

As explained in the oral presentation [1], the original plans for an electron-ion collider (ELIC) at Jefferson Lab involved the construction of two figure-of-eight rings, intersecting at up to four collision points, with a proton energy of 30-225 GeV (30-100 GeV/A for ions up to Pb) and electrons (and positrons) from 3 to 9 GeV [2]. Since the construction of such a facility must await completio...

Detector for Linear Collider

We summarize here our vision on detector for future linear collider. Absence of magnetic yoke allows construction of easy adjustable universal detector. Tanks to usage of multiplet in final focus optics, this detector is also able to register secondary particles under extremely small angles, what is required for running collisions with polarized beams.

New Directions in QCD and The Electron - Ion Collider

The Emerging QCD Frontier: The Electron Ion Collider

The self-interactions of gluons determine all the unique features of QCD and lead to a dominant abundance of gluons inside matter already at moderate x. Despite their dominant role, the properties of gluons remain largely unexplored. Tantalizing hints of saturated gluon densities have been found in e+p collisions at HERA, and in d+Au and Au+Au collisions at RHIC. Saturation physics will have a ...
