The second meeting of the ePIC Collaboration will take place January 9-11th at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The meeting will be held in a hybrid format to allow all members of the international collaboration to take part. The meeting is open to both current members of the ePIC collaboration as well as all interested parties.
The 2022 Electron-Ion Collider User Group meeting will take place from July 26-30, 2022 will be hosted by the Center for Frontiers in Nuclear Science (CFNS) at Stony Brook University. The meeting will be run in a hybrid mode with the in-person meeting at the Wang Center and remotely on Zoom. The meeting will feature recent advances in EIC project including the evolution of the recent detector proposals, discussions regarding the 2nd Detector and most importantly, formation of detector collaboration.
L’Electron Ion Collider (EIC) è un futuro acceleratore di particelle che ha l’obiettivo di approfondire le nostre conoscenze riguardo l’interazione forte, una delle quattro interazioni fondamentali della natura, attraverso collisioni di elettroni su nuclei e protoni. L’infrastruttura del futuro detector comprende un sistema d’identificazione basato sull’emissione di luce Cherenkov, un fenomeno che permette di risalire alla massa delle particelle. Una delle configurazioni prese in considerazione per questo sistema è il dual-radiator RICH, basato sulla presenza di due radiatori all’esterno dei quali si trovano dei fotorivelatori. Un’opzione per questi sensori sono i fotorivelatori al silicio SiPM, oggetto di questo lavoro di…
Dear Colleagues, it is my privilege to inform you that the ATHENA proposal, resulting from so much work and dedication by the ATHENA Collaboration, is now accepted for publication on JINST, reference no. JINST_063P_0522. The ATHENA proposal will also be documented in the DIS2022 proceedings and in the Pisa Detector Meeting 2022 proceedings. All this will complete the documentation of our 2021 effort. At the same time, we are looking to the future with our contribution to the collaborative effort for the consolidation and optimization of DETECTOR-1, which will instrument IP6 at EIC. Best greetings, Silvia
Le Giornate Nazionali di Catania sono la quarta edizione di una serie di appuntamenti annuali. I gruppi INFN interessati alla futura sperimentazione all’Electron-Ion Collider, (EIC) nuova macchina acceleratrice che sarà realizzata a Brookhaven (USA) ed è prevista entrare in operazione nel 2030, discutono stato e prospettiva del coinvolgimento italiano e dell’INFN in questo progetto scientifico internazionale. In questa intervista John Harris (Yale University) e Thomas Ulrich (Brookhaven National Laboratories) introducono il progetto e le priorità scientifiche.
La giornata nazionale EIC_NET 2021 è il terzo di una serie di appuntamenti annuali in cui i gruppi INFN interessati alla futura sperimentazione a EIC in USA discutono stato e prospettiva del coinvolgimento italiano nel progetto scientifico internazionale. L’evento sarà all’indomani della sottomissione delle proposta della proto-collaborazione ATHENA, di cui i gruppi italiani sono membri, alla “call for detectors” attualmente in corso.
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
International community of EIC scientists publishes “yellow report” laying out physics case, detector requirements, and evolving detector concepts for future nuclear physics facility
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.
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).
