Electron-Ion Collider Achieves Critical Decision 1 Approval
CD-1 milestone marks start of project execution phase for next-generation nuclear physics facility that will probe the smallest building blocks of visible matter
Scientists Describe Detector Goals for Electron-Ion Collider (EIC)
International community of EIC scientists publishes “yellow report” laying out physics case, detector requirements, and evolving detector concepts for future nuclear physics facility
Call for Collaboration Proposals for Detectors at the Electron-Ion Collider
Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) are pleased to announce the Call for Collaboration Proposals for Detectors to be located at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The EIC will have the capacity to host two interaction regions, each with a corresponding detector. It is expected that each of these two detectors would be represented by a Collaboration.
3rd EIC Yellow Report Workshop at CUA
The EIC Yellow Report Workshop at CUA/Washington DC is the third of a series of four workshops in 2020. The purpose of the Yellow Report Initiative is to advance the state and detail of the documented physics studies (White Paper, INT program proceedings) and detector concepts (Detector and R&D Handbook) in preparation for the realization of the EIC. The effort aims to provide the basis for further development of concepts for experimental equipment best suited for science needs, including complementarity of two detectors towards future Technical Design Reports (TDRs).
2020 EIC Users Group Meeting
The 2020 edition of the “Electron-Ion Collider User Group Meeting” will take place online through Zoom from July 15th to 17th. This user meeting will be the first one to take place after the recent CD0 and site selection made by the US Department of Energy, with the EIC to be constructed at Brookhaven National Laboratory in partnership with Jefferson Lab. As such the meeting will focus on the EIC physics program featuring topical sessions on new advances in physics as well as accelerator and detector R&D related to the ElC. Special emphasis will be given to the Yellow Report…

U.S. Department of Energy Selects Brookhaven National Laboratory to Host Major New Nuclear Physics Facility
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the selection of Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, NY, as the site for a planned major new nuclear physics research facility.
EICUG Yellow Reports – Kick-off Meeting
The EIC User Group (EICUG) is organizing a 12-18 months intensive study of the EIC physics and detector concepts. This study seeks to build on the 2014 EIC White Paper and the EIC Detector Requirements and R&D Handbook and will be complementary to the ongoing effort at laboratories and universities worldwide. The goal of the study is to quantify physics measurements for existing or new physics topics focusing on implication for detector requirements and to study detector concepts based on these requirements. At the kick-off meeting on December 12-13, the organizational structure of the EICUG physics and detector study will…
