eRHIC: high energy electron-ion collider

General features Species: electrons colliding with protons, 3He or heavy ions (up to Au). Energy ranges: 5-30 GeV electrons 50-325 GeV polarized protons or up to 130 GeV/u gold ions Luminosities  exceeding 1034 cm-2s-1 for e-p collisions  exceeding 1032 cm-2s-1 for e-Au collisions High polarization of electron, proton  and 3He beams. Electron acceleration in superconducting energy recovery electron linacs. Electron beam is used for collisions only on one pass (linac-ring collision scheme). IR design with 10 mrad crossing angle and crab-crossing.

One of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE's Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
