[Cuga] New call for EIC detector R&D proposals - A message from Tom Ludlam

[Lorelei Carlson]

FY 2013 Call for Proposals

Generic Detector R&D for an Electron Ion Collider

Fall 2012 Advisory Committee Meeting

In January 2011 Brookhaven National Laboratory announced a generic 
detector R&D program to address
the scientific requirements for measurements at a future Electron Ion 
Collider (EIC). The primary goals of
this program are to develop detector concepts and technologies that have 
particular importance for experiments
in an EIC environment, and to help ensure that the techniques and 
resources for implementing these
technologies are well established within the EIC user community.

This program is supported through R&D funds provided to BNL by the DOE 
Office of Nuclear Physics.
It is not intended to be specific to any proposed EIC site, and is open 
to all segments of the EIC community. Proposals should be aimed at 
optimizing detection capability to enhance the scientific reach of 
polarized
electron-proton and electron-ion collisions up to center-of-mass 
energies of 100-200 GeV and e-p
equivalent luminosities up to a few times 1034 cm-2s-1. Details of 
proposed accelerator facilities for an EIC,
and the requirements for a suite of “golden” experimental measurements 
can be found in Ref. 1. Funded
proposals will be selected on the basis of peer review by a standing EIC 
Detector Advisory Committee
consisting of internationally recognized experts in detector technology 
and collider physics. This committee
meets approximately twice per year, to hear and evaluate new proposals, 
and to monitor progress of
ongoing projects. The program is administered by the BNL Physics Department.

The website for this R&D program, including past proposals and Committee 
reports, is at:
