[Cuga] FIRST CIRCULAR: Polarized Ion Sources and Beams at the EIC at Stony Brook University, March 10-12, 2025- A message from Richard Milner

[Lorelei Carlson]

Dear colleagues



In the 2030s, the U.S.-based Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will be the leading facility for hadronic and nuclear physics, with polarized beams enabling unique insights into the spin structure of nucleons and the role of quarks and gluons in nuclei. This includes studying phenomena like the polarized EMC effect, gluon transversity, and exotic QCD phenomena, advancing beyond traditional nucleon-meson models to leverage nuclei and their spins as QCD laboratories.



We will hold a community-wide meeting on “Polarized Ion Sources and Beams at EIC” at Stony Brook University from March 10-12, 2025. The presentations will be held by invitation.

The meeting aims to highlight the exciting scientific opportunities for spin measurements within the EIC and spin communities, assess the current status of ion source development, and identify critical R&D needed for a successful polarized EIC program. Additionally, it seeks to inspire the education and training of a new generation of physicists skilled in spin polarization technology, essential for the realization of the EIC's polarized program. Details about the meeting can be found at https://indico.cfnssbu.physics.sunysb.edu/event/343. A further goal of the meeting is to produce a white paper on polarized ion sources and beams in the EIC in the near future.



Registration is free of charge. The capacity for presenting posters is limited, but any participant is welcome to submit an abstract for a poster via the website or by contacting the organizers. A limited number of rooms have been reserved for the conference at the Hilton Inn, Stony Brook. These will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and should be booked by January 22, 2025.





Sincerely,

Jaydeep Datta, Zein-Eddine Meziani, Richard Milner,

Deepak Raparia, and Frank Rathmann
