Progress on the Electron Ion Collider

Abstract
The Electron Ion Collider that will collide electrons with ions from proton to Uranium is
being built at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The project is carried out in collaboration
between BNL and JLAB and will include further collaborators. The collider has ambitious
performance goals such as high luminosity of L = 1 · 1034 cm-2 s-1 and beam polarizations
of 70% for both electrons and light hadrons. The center of mass energy of collisions ranges
between 29 GeV and 140 GeV (for e-p collisions). The electron ion collider passed the critical
milestone “CD-1” which marked the end of the conceptual design in June 2021.
We are now working on the engineering design and are consolidating the accelerator science
base of the collider. We plan to commit to a cost plan and a schedule by January 2024 and
will start with the construction of the components in the same year. Installation of the collider
will start in 2027 and commissioning is in 2029. First operation for physics is planned in the
2031 timeframe.
Access to seminar room 30b/459 only for a limited no. of participants!
