Another eA/p workshop will be held next year. FYI I forward the notice. ------------------------------------------------------ Flemming Videbaek Physics Department Brookhaven National Laboratory Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2001 12:09 PM Subject: Electron Ion Collider Workshop at BNL > > Dear Spokespeople, > > Please forward this first announcement of the EIC workshop to > your collaborations with a request that they are free to forward > it to anyone who they think would be interested in attending. > Thanks very much. > > -Best regards, > Abhay Deshpande > RIKEN BNL Research Center at BNL > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > A Workshop on The Electron Ion Collider at BNL > February 28, March 1,2, 2002 > > An Electron Ion Collider (EIC) with a large range in the center of > mass energy for polarized electron-proton scattering, and electron-Ion > (heavy ion) scattering is proposed as a next generation experimental > facility for deep inelastic scattering (DIS) studies. With various > options for electron beam possible, a significant increase in the > luminosity over the present Colliders is envisioned. The possible physics > program with such a facility and some preliminary ideas on the accelerator > designs were presented to the US NSAC's Long Range Planning Review > meetings in late 2000 & early 2001. > > In view of the enthusiastic support which the Electron Ion Collider (EIC) > has received at the NSAC Long Range Planning Exercise in the United States > and from the international hadronic physics community, we wish to > begin to organize the necessary effort to deliver the detailed proposal in > a timely fashion. To this end, we plan to hold a meeting open to all > interested physicists to address the following issues: > > - formation of a scientific collaboration > > - development of the detailed scientific case for EIC > > - consideration of the different accelerator options with the aim to > focus on a single optimized design > > - consideration of different detector options to address the planned > physics measurements in the context of realistic accelerator parameters. > > The meeting will build on the discussions at four previous meetings at > IUCF, BNL, Yale, and MIT and will take place at Brookhaven National > Laboratory on February 28 & March 1,2 2002. A major goal of this meeting > will be to initiate the extensive studies on various aspects of EIC > which will be essential for realization of the detailed proposal. > This is the first circular of the meeting. A second notice of the meeting > will be sent with an invitation to register. > > We look forward to seeing you all at BNL in February/March. > > Best regards, > > Abhay Deshpande (For the EIC Steering Committee) > RIKEN BNL Research Center, BNL > > > EIC Steering Committee: > John Cameron (IUCF) > Larry Cardman (JLAB) > Gerry Garvey (LANL) > Roy Holt (ANL) > Peter Jacobs (LBL) > Richard Milner (MIT/Bates) > Peter Paul (BNL) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- > > > >
