Description
A potential fixed-target (FXT) program at the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), currently under consideration by the EIC user community, can provide a valuable complement to collider operations, enabling high-luminosity measurements with substantially simplified machine requirements. The EIC can deliver a large range of ion species from polarized protons and 3He to heavy ions like gold or uranium from the Hadron Storage Ring, as well as high-current polarized electron beams from the Electron Storage Ring, across a broad range of energies. This paper summarizes the operational experience of fixed-target experiments at RHIC and examines the potential for FXT measurements at the EIC, with particular emphasis on beam conditions suitable for fixed-target operation and the differing beam requirements between colliding-beam and fixed-target modes.
