论文摘要
电子离子对撞机(EIC)是计划在美国能源部在纽约长岛的布鲁克黑文国家实验室建设的粒子加速器设施。 EIC将提供具有质子和光离子极化光束的偏光电子横梁的能力。 EIC将是全球最大,最复杂的新加速器设施之一,也是计划在未来几十年在美国建设的唯一新的大规模加速器设施。 EIC的多功能性,解决力和强度将为解决粒子物理学中一些至关重要的开放科学问题提供许多新的机会。该文档从高能量物理学界的角度概述了EIC的科学案例。
Electron Ion Collider (EIC) is a particle accelerator facility planned for construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, New York by the United States Department of Energy. EIC will provide capabilities of colliding beams of polarized electrons with polarized beams of proton and light ions. EIC will be one of the largest and most sophisticated new accelerator facilities worldwide, and the only new large-scale accelerator facility planned for construction in the United States in the next few decades. The versatility, resolving power and intensity of EIC will present many new opportunities to address some of the crucial and fundamental open scientific questions in particle physics. This document provides an overview of the science case of EIC from the perspective of the high energy physics community.
