Sep 5, 2014 · This document presents BNL's plan for an electron-ion collider, eRHIC, a major new research tool that builds on the existing RHIC facility to advance the long-term vision for Nuclear Physics to discover and understand the emergent phenomena of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the fundamental theory of the strong interaction that binds the atomic nu...

The proposed electron-ion collider eRHIC will collide polarized electron and polarized light (proton, deuteron, or 3He) or unpolarized heavy ion beams up to uranium at center-of-mass energies ranging from 20 to 140 GeV (electron-proton equivalent).

Physicists are building a new machine--an Electron-Ion Collider--to look inside the protons and neutrons that make up the atomic nucleus. The EIC will be a particle accelerator that collides electrons with protons and nuclei to produce snapshots of those particles' internal structure.

eRHIC Machine Design •A Zero-order Design Report (ZDR) has been completed in March 2004 and reviewed by the BNL MAC in June 2005 • Endorsement of basic design with many good technical criticisms and suggestions • The leading eRHIC design concept is a ring-ring configuration and will reach ~1033 cm-2 s-1 luminosity

Jun 12, 2012 · eRHIC would be the world's first electron-nucleus collider. It would have the flexibility to change the nuclear ion species as well as the beam energies — both crucial for the systematic study of the “glue” postulated to dominate the internal structure of heavy nuclei accelerated to near light speed.

Jan 19, 2021 · 电子-离子对撞机 (Electron Ion Collider，EIC)是一种大型粒子加速器，被视作是具有超高分辨率的“三维电子显微镜”，是研究核子结构的最理想工具。 EIC用没有内部结构的电子轰击质子和更重的原子核，可以探索核子和原子核内部夸克和胶子的结构及它们之间的相互作用。 借助这种超级显微镜，科学家们能获得世界上最清楚的核子内部三维图像，人类探索微观物质世界的知识边界将得到继续扩展。 核物理是研究核物质的领域，根据能标的不同，分为中低能核物 …

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC / ˈ r ɪ k /) is the first and one of only two operating heavy-ion colliders, and the only spin-polarized proton collider ever built. Located at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in Upton, New York, and used by an international team of researchers, it is the only operating particle collider in the US. [1] [2] [3] By using RHIC to collide ions ...

Brookhaven National Laboratory is proposing eRHIC, an electron-ion collider based on the existing RHIC facility. RHIC consists of two superconducting storage rings (“Blue” and “Yellow”) with a circumference of 3.8 km that intersect at six equidistantly spaced locations around the ring.

Oct 26, 2007 · A high luminosity polarized e-p/He and unpolarized e-A collider to study the hyperfine structure of the nucleon including (spin and flavor) and to explore nuclear matter at high parton densities.

The eRHIC physics programme is very diverse, spanning a wide variety of measurement using both electron-proton and electron-nucleus collisions. The goals and potential of the programme, and the details of the accelerator itself, are summarised in the EIC whitepaper document [1].
