  1. Generic Detector R&D for an Electron Ion Collider Advisory Committee meeting June 5-6, 2013 T. Ludlam NSAC 2013 Subcommittee Report on Scientific Facilities: “The Subcommittee ranks an EIC as Absolutely Central in its ability to contribute to world-leading science in the next decade.” “There are outstanding R&D issues that remain to be addressed in order to achieve performance metrics. Staging approaches to the EIC are also being explored by [BNL and JLab]. Both laboratories are actively addressing R&D issues and are making good progress.” http://arxiv.org/abs/1212.1701

  2. EIC Generic Detector R&D Program Establish a peer reviewed program of R&D to enable EIC experiments Program initiated January 2011 with first call for proposals. Advisory Committee meetings: May 2011, December 2011, May 2012, December 2012 Magnet 2-3T 24 proposals received. 10 activities funded to date. Website: https://wiki.bnl.gov/conferences/index.php/EIC_R%25D Advisory Committee members: Marcel Demarteau (Argonne) Carl Haber (LBNL) Robert Klanner (Hamburg) Ian Shipsey (Purdue) Rick Van Berg (Penn) Jerry Va’vra (SLAC) Glenn Young (Jlab) Chair

  3. EIC Detector R&D: funded projects through December 2012 Compact Calorimetry Particle ID; Simulation; Hermiticity Hi density photon detector Simulation; Tracking; Particle ID; Hermiticity Compact tracking; Hermiticity Simulation tools Novel technique for e-beam polarimetry Compact RICH with Si PM LYSO crystal-based design e-tagging with GEM TRD

  4. General recommendations from previous meetings: shaping the program • Simulation studies strongly encouraged • “to maximize acceptance and efficiency for each golden measurement while minimizing machine backgrounds, and backgrounds from other physics processes”. • Importance of the formation of consortia of universities and national labs: • Much work needs to be done on each class of detector technique to identify appropriate technologies through simulation, prototyping, etc. • Such consortia are the first step toward building scientific collaborations that can successfully mount EIC experiments. • Matching the technology to the physics environment • “Proposers need to include a discussion and tables of performance requirements and their resulting detector specifications to meet them.” (See reference detector designs) • The community needs to develop an understanding of the radiation dose and backgrounds expected for each of the two machine proposals. Explore connections between EIC interests and other R&D programs that are going on inthe world(e.g. HEP, ILC, CERN, FAIR, as well as other NP programs)
