Status Report on the Tungsten Powder/Fiber Calorimetry Program for EIC

We report the current status of an EIC detector R{\&}D project for a new sampling calorimeter technology using tungsten powder and scintillating fibers. Detector construction techniques and bench test results will be presented. We will show results of Geant4 simulations for a proposed tungsten-fiber calorimeter envisioned for both a STAR forward calorimeter upgrade and an electromagnetic calorimeter for EIC with emphasis on the performance characteristics of the detector (energy and position resolution, pi0-gamma separation and e/h rejection, pi0 reconstruction etc.). Finally, future plans for our R{\&}D effort will be discussed.
