T2-6 Physics at the EIC Symposium: Accelerator Developments at the EIC (DNP) | Symposium sur la physique à l'EIC: avancées d'accélérateurs à l'EIC (DPN)
- David Hornidge (Mount Allison University)
The Electron-Ion Collider will be a new discovery machine for unlocking the secrets of the "glue" that binds the building blocks of visible matter in the universe. The EIC will consist of two intersecting accelerators, one producing an intense beam of electrons (Electron Storage Ring), the other a high-energy beam of protons or heavier atomic nuclei (Hadron Storage Ring), which are steered...
An understanding of how the properties of matter originate from the deeply fundamental constituents of QCD is the primary goal of nuclear physics and the motivation for a new facility, the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The EIC will be constructed at Brookhaven National Lab and will take advantage of the entire existing Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) facility, but requires challenging...
