<div class="">This is the third and final circular for the first <b class="">IR2@EIC workshop</b>, held virtually on <b class="">March 17-19, 2021</b>. You can find the full circular attached to this email.</div>
<br class="">
<div class="">This first workshop of the IR2@EIC initiative will highlight the science that will benefit the most from a second EIC interaction region, including the science in deep exclusive processes, the semi-inclusive and physics with jets, heavy flavor
and spectroscopy, and processes with light and heavy ions. We will also initiate working groups to develop and formulate the most compelling justification for the science at low to medium center-of-mass energies and sketch out the path towards developing a robust
concept detector and its ancillary instrumentation, to be further solidified in the subsequent workshops.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This workshop is timely as Brookhaven National Laboratory and Jefferson Laboratory have announced the “Call for Collaboration Proposals for Detectors to be located at the EIC” in two interaction regions. Detector 2 could complement the project
detector in IR1 and may focus on optimizing particular science topics or addressing topics beyond the requirements defined in previous published EIC documents. It also refers to possible optimization of that IR2 interaction region towards such aims.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">The goal of the IR2@EIC initiative and the series of workshops in 2021 is to develop the scientific underpinnings and instrumentation options to support such a science program. <br class="">
