Description
The Electron–Ion Collider (EIC) Project is a top priori-ty for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and is ex-pected to be completed in the 2030s. The EIC facility is designed to map the internal structure of nucleons (pro-tons and neutrons) to understand how quarks and gluons generate their properties. The EIC is being built at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), in partnership with the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab). The Project, supported by a large interna-tional user group, also promises advancements in artificial intelligence, medical imaging, and accelerator technology.
Currently the Project is progressing toward a mature accelerator design and is rapidly transitioning from design to construction. This paper provides a Project-level over-view of the accelerator design status highlights, recent accomplishments and path forwards.
