Electron-Ion Collider Accelerator Design

The design of the electron-ion collider is under development at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL).

Two designs are being developed:

• eRHIC:    High energy electron-ion collider.
• MeRHIC: Medium energy EIC at BNL. It is considered as a first stage for future higher energy eRHIC.

The information on physics objectives of electron-ion colliders can be found at  http://web.mit.edu/eicc

Recent Events:

• DOE RHIC S&T Review at BNL (July 22-23, 2009). Various eRHIC/MeRHIC aspects in talks of T.Roser, E.Aschenauer and V.Litvinenko
  
• Common ENC/EIC Workshop at GSI (May 28-30, 2009)
  
• EIC Collaboration Meeting at LBNL (December 11-13, 2008)

Upcoming Events:

• Internal MeRHIC Cost Review (October 7-8, 2009)   (restricted website)
• Physics at a High Energy Electron Ion Collider Workshop (October 19-23, 2009)

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 Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
