The Electron-Ion Collider Collaboration is formed for the following purpose and goals:
-
to develop the most compelling science case for a high luminosity,
high energy, electron-ion collider (EIC) independent of where
it may be sited;
-
to work with accelerator physicists, especially at BNL and Jlab, to
develop the optimal EIC accelerator design; and
-
to design and realize through an R&D program the most optimal suite
of detectors for the EIC.
The EICC membership is open to any one who will work on achieving the
goals of the EICC.
The EIC Collaboration: governed by an EICC Steering Committee,
broadly representative of the collaborating institutes with two co-chairs
who will act as contact persons/spokespersons of the collaboration.
The purpose of the steering committee is:
-
To oversee the coordination of the three central activities of the EICC,
to work,
-
To work with all parties towards timely realization of EIC,
-
To ensure that the Collaboration is appropriately represented at all
meetings, conferences, and relevant discussions.
The Steering Committee is appointed by the EIC collaboration, and will
be renewed ~annually
During the collaboration meeting at MIT in April, 2007 a Steering Committee was formed to start the organisational structure of the collaboration. The members of that committee are listed below:
- Antje Bruell, Jlab
- Abhay Deshpande, Stony Brook, RBRC (Co-Chair/Spokesperson)
- Rolf Ent, Jlab
- Charles Hyde, ODU/UBP, France
- Peter Jacobs, LBL
- Richard Milner, MIT (Co-Chair/Spokesperson)
- Thomas Ulrich, BNL
- Raju Venugopalan, BNL
- Werner Vogelsang, BNL
The members of the International Advisory Committee are:
- Jochen Bartels (DESY)
- Allen Caldwell (MPI, Munich)
- Albert De Roeck (CERN)
- Walter Henning (ANL)
- Dave Hertzog (UIUC)
- Xiangdong Ji (U. Maryland)
- Robert Klanner (U. Hamburg)
- Katsunobu Oide (KEK)
- Naohito Saito (KEK)
- Uli Wienands (SLAC)
To keep the momentum and studies going, we need to have different people
take lead in various important sub-parts of this project. The convenors of the various working groups are:
- ep Physics
- Antje Bruell, JLAB
- Ernst Sichterman, LBL
- Werner Vogelsang, BNL
- Christian Weiss, JLAB
- eA Physics
- Vadim Guzey, JLAB
- Dave Morrison, BNL
- Thomas Ullrich, BNL
- Raju Venugopalan, BNL
- Detector
- Elke Aschenauer, JLAB
- Edward Kinney, Colorado
- Andy Miller, TRIUMF
- Bernd Surrow, MIT
- Electron Beam Polarimetry
- Wolfgang Lorenzon, Michigan
Propose to have two collaboration meetings per year.
Convenors will organise working group meetings as necessary.
Special topical meetings will be organised by the steering committee and
the working group convenors.
Mailing lists will be created for the collaboration and any working group.
