[Cuga] FY 2015 Call for Generic Detector R&D Proposals - A message from Thomas Ullrich

FY 2015 Call for Proposals
Generic Detector R&D for an Electron Ion Collider
Summer 2014 Detector Advisory Committee Meeting

In January 2011 Brookhaven National Laboratory, in association with 
Jefferson Lab and the DOE Office
of Nuclear Physics, 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 100-150 GeV and e-p equivalent luminosities 
up to 10^34 cm^-2 s^-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, 
with annual funds of about $1.0M - $1.5M, subject to availability of 
funding from DOE NP.
