Fast detectors for polarimetry at the EIC

In light of the upgraded capability of particle colliders, new state-of-the-art particle detectors are often required to cope with outstanding radiation rates. The many technical complications arising from this problem pushed the community towards the design of technologies with unprecedented fast response and radiation tolerances. Among their possible applications, these detectors find an important use in the development of Compton polarimeters, devices which are expected to be installed along the electronic beam lines at the EIC. This talk will describe the design of a Compton polarimeter for the EIC based on fast solid state sensors. We will describe the importance of the choice of the sensors, and the design of a fast read-out electronics. Preliminary results based on simulations will also be presented.
