Description

A crucial component to the EIC program is the determination of the collider luminosity. It will be measured through photon emission in the Bethe-Heitler process as it was at HERA. The anticipated high luminosity at the EIC presents several new challenges that necessitate improvements to the base ZEUS pair spectrometer design, which utilizes e+e- conversions of the Bremsstrahlung photons. The new design includes a thin converter foil, sweeper and analyzer magnet, a helium/vacuum chamber, tracking layers, and modern EM calorimeters (Pair Spectrometer Colorimeter). I will present characteristic study of Pair Spectrometer which will provide the first estimate of uncertainties in the measurement of luminosity.
