Description
A high luminosity polarized electron ion collider offers an unprecedented probe of the QCD dynamics of hadron and nuclear structure. I will present the JLEIC accelerator, interaction region, and detector design in the context of its impact on spin physics. The ion beams will include longitudinally and transversely polarized protons and 3He, as well as both vector and tensor polarized deuterons. The detector design emphasizes nearly hermetic acceptance, including a high resolution far forward spectrometer to identify deep exclusive and diffractive DIS events, the target fragmentation jet, and spectator fragments from light nuclei. Particle ID (e/γ/π/K/p) is matched to the kinematics, to allow detailed flavor tagging in polarized SIDIS reactions.
