Description

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will begin science operations with a staged machine configuration that imposes well-defined accelerator-physics constraints on achievable luminosity and beam parameters. This paper presents the performance strategy that supports the first 3-5 years of the EIC Science Program. We outline the accelerator-physics activities required to deliver high-repetition-rate electron beams, heavy-ion beams, deuterium, polarized protons, and ³He, together with the performance evolution of electron and hadron polarization systems, spin rotators, bunch patterns, and longitudinal emittance control. The paper highlights the year-by-year integration of new machine capabilities, including progressive increases in beam intensity and average luminosity required to meet evolving science objectives. This framework defines the accelerator-physics roadmap for performance delivery and sustained operation of the EIC Science Program.
