Description
The next-generation nuclear physics facility in the United States will be the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), scheduled to be built at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL).
%The EIC will be a powerful new high-luminosity facility with the capability to collide high-energy electron beams with high-energy proton and ion beams, providing access to those regions in the nucleon and nuclei where their structure is dominated by gluons. Excellent particle identification (PID) is one of the key requirement for the EIC central detector. Identification of the hadrons in the final state is critical to study how different quark flavors contribute to nucleon properties. A detector using the Detection of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light (DIRC) principle, with a radial size of only 7-8 cm, is a very attractive solution to meet these requirements. The R
