  • Electron-Ion Collider Science
    BOARD ON PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY (BPA) An Assessment of U.S.-Based Electron-Ion Collider Science A study under the auspices of the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Gordon Baym and Ani Aprahamian, Co-Chairs The study is supported by funding from the DOE Office of Science. (Further information can be found at: https://www.nap.edu/25171) The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine The National Academies produce reports that shape policies, inform public opinion, and advance the pursuit of science, engineering, and medicine. The present report is carried out under the leadership of the Board on Physics and Astronomy (James Lancaster, Director). The BPA seeks to inform the government and the public about what is needed to continue the advancement of physics and astronomy and why doing so is important. Committee on Assessment of U.S.-Based Electron-Ion Collider Science The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine was asked by the U.S. Department of Energy to assess the scientific justification for building an Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) facility. The unanimous conclusion of the Committee is that an EIC, as envisioned in this report, would be… … a unique facility in the world that would answer science questions that are compelling, fundamental, and timely, and help maintain U.S. scientific leadership in nuclear physics. What is an Electron-Ion Collider? An advanced accelerator that collides beams of electrons with beams of protons or heavier ions (atomic nuclei). Electron-ion center of mass energy ~20-100 GeV, upgradable to ~140 GeV. High luminosity and polarization! 1) highly polarized electrons, E ~ 4 GeV to possibly 20 GeV 2) highly polarized protons, E ~ 30 GeV to some 300 GeV, and heavier ions Brookhaven Jefferson Lab Two possible configurations: Brookhaven Nat’l Lab and Jefferson Lab Committee Statement of Task -- from DOE to the BPA The committee will assess the scientific justification for a U.S.

  • CERN Courier – Digital Edition Twin Bids for a 100 Km Collider Welcome to the Digital Edition of the January/February 2019 Issue of CERN Courier
    CERNJanuary/February 2019 cerncourier.com COURIERReporting on international high-energy physics WELCOME Coming to terms with naturalness Individual recognition in particle physics CERN Courier – digital edition Twin bids for a 100 km collider Welcome to the digital edition of the January/February 2019 issue of CERN Courier. LHC EXPERIMENTS Particle physics rarely stands still, and the articles in this issue offer a snapshot REBORN of activities under way at CERN and elsewhere to secure the field into the next decade and beyond. Chief among these are the upgrades to the LHC experiments. Already exceeding its design luminosity, the LHC and its injector chain were shut down at the end of 2018 for two years of maintenance and upgrades, many of which are geared towards the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) scheduled to operate from 2026. To maximise the physics potential of this unique machine, the seven LHC experiments are using the current “long-shutdown two” to overhaul their detectors – a massive and complex effort that will continue during long-shutdown three beginning in 2024. HL-LHC promises a rich physics programme lasting into the 2030s at this curious time for the field, but strategic decisions need to be taken soon to ensure that there is minimal gap between the LHC and the next major collider. In recent months, China and Europe have launched design reports for a 100 km machine that would open a new era of exploration, while a decision is also imminent regarding a possible international linear collider in Japan. These and numerous other considerations will shape the upcoming update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, more than 150 submissions for which were received by the deadline of 18 December.
