EIC Accelerator Design

The EIC currently being designed by a partnership between Brookhaven National Laboratory and Jefferson Lab will open exciting new frontiers for research in nuclear physics and QCD. The potential and the associated design requirements of the facility are laid out in detail in a comprehensive White Paper that has been compiled by the US nuclear physics community with world-wide support. We will give an overview of the facility and present latest design advances, with an emphasis on the interaction region and its instrumentation.
