The EIC team jumped back in quickly with a three-day Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Project Assessment Independent Project Review (IPR) on January 7-9, 2024. The review team consisted of 23 subject matter experts from around the DOE complex and was divided
into seven subcommittees. Overall, the committee commended the EIC team for making excellent progress since the last CD-3A/Status IPR in November 2023.</p>

The Project Management Subcommittee made three recommendations: 1) Proceed to CD-3B; 2) In advance of the next IPR, document the scope of EIC project and gain alignment with the Program Office on mission need achievement; 3) Develop details for the subproject
strategy and work with the Program Office and FPD to conduct a focused IPR in 6 months (late July/early August). More details discussed below. </p>

Right now, we are focused on maturing plans to deliver the EIC through subprojects and prepare the baseline for the Collider Subproject, which will include the Hadron Storage Ring, Electron Storage Ring, and Infrastructure scope. I’ve asked Charlie Folz, Associate
Director for Infrastructure, to lead this effort. Defining the scope, cost, and organization of the Collider Project is our first priority. Next, we will begin further developing our strategy for the other remaining subprojects needed to deliver the early
science program. </p>

A DOE IPR will be scheduled in the late July/early August timeframe to provide DOE an update on our status on project delivery plans and gain support for a proposed Collider Subproject CD-2/3 IPR in FY2026. Significant effort is needed to engage stakeholders

There remains uncertainty with the funding situation for FY2025. As of now, the Continuing Resolution for funding at the FY2024 level has been extended through March 14, 2025. Updates on any changes on Inflation Reduction Act spending are being closely monitored.
We continue to plan for various budget scenarios and continue to hold the hiring freeze with the exception of critical positions until further notice. It is important we can continue to move the project forward as aggressively as we can within the given budget
constraints.</p>

The OPA Review Team assessed the project’s overall status, including the execution of CD-3A LLP's, plans to develop a performance baseline in 2025, and readiness to request the CD-3B LLP package for the DOE's Energy System Acquisition Advisory Board approval
this Spring. </p>

This review is an important step as the project moves toward requesting CD-3B approval, a milestone that will authorize approximately $50 million in LLP's essential for the success of the project. <br>
<br>
These LLP's will allow the project to acquire highly specialized components for the accelerator and detector—pivotal to reducing risks and maintaining momentum toward CD-2, the performance baseline milestone slated for fiscal year 2026. </p>

The EIC’s detector, known as ePIC, will use calorimeters, barrel-shaped or endcap-shaped metal components on either side of the detector. These layered structures absorb the energy of subatomic particles that jet, cluster, and shower through them from particle
collisions.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">

When charged particles pass through the layers, scintillator materials convert their energy into bursts of light, which photosensitive components — like the silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs)— capture and convert to electric signals. </p>

“We will be using more than 600,000 SiPMs in the ePIC experiment, which will take considerable time and effort to produce,” said Elke Aschenauer, co-associate director for the EIC’s experimental program. “Getting these essential detector components now means
we can be ready to install them — and eventually capture 3D snapshots of particle showers in the EIC.” </p>

Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has made magnets, found to be unusable for the Advanced Photon Source (APS) upgrade, available for the EIC. The quadrupole and sextupole magnets are a perfect match for those required in the Electron Storage Ring (ESR) of the
EIC.</p>

ANL coordinated transporting the 30-year-old magnets, one truck at a time, to both BNL and JLab, where they will be re-purposed for use in the ESR. EIC teams at both BNL and JLab began the monumental effort to unload, extract, technically assess, and reconstruct
a fleet of nearly 700 quadrupole and sextupole magnets. </p>

“It's a noble cause to re-use and re-purpose these magnets for a myriad of reasons, the most important being cost and schedule savings as well as not overburdening our magnet manufacturing base," said George Mahler, Group Leader of EIC Magnet Systems, who oversees
the processing of these magnets at BNL. “The EIC in its entirety will require approximately 4,000 normal conducting magnets.”</p>

Each truck can transport only two magnet girders due to interstate transport vehicle weight restrictions. The bulk of magnet girders received at JLab are comprised of three quadrupoles, one sextupole, and a corrector magnet. Magnet girders received at BNL
are constructed to include one dipole, two sextupoles, and a corrector magnet.</p>

The shipments began in June 2023 and continued at the pace of three to five shipments per week, during which time BNL received 80 girders and JLab received 120 girders worth of magnets. The complex logistics of both Lab teams included a delicate ballet between
receiving shipments, bulk storage of girder assemblies, the initiation of disassembly, verification of nonradioactive components, recycling parts deemed to be not viable, and extracting the magnets of interest.</p>

“Basically, we are taking things apart that are worn down and need to be replaced," said Sarin Philip, EIC Normal Conducting Magnets manager at JLab. "We have to remove cables, disassemble vacuum ports, remove unused magnets, take the beamline off, and unbolt
magnets from girders so they reduce to magnets on a pallet.”</p>

“It can be likened to somebody giving you an old car and you don't know what's wrong with it. What needs to be replaced and what needs to be repaired? What do I have to fix to ensure that this thing works flawlessly for the next 30 years?” said Mahler.</p>

Magnet technicians at both labs refurbish the extracted magnets which involves replacing aged components, checking for water leaks via pressure and flow tests, high voltage testing coil assemblies, machining new components and reconfiguring outdated designs,
and conducting a magnetic measurement to ensure exacting electromagnetic fields. Magnet engineers then work with physicists to verify magnetic field measurements and acceptability of the magnets. </p>

<span style="color: rgb(21, 96, 130); font-weight: 600;">My job is to: </span>design vacuum chambers for the electrons and ions to circulate and collide. These chambers are what enclose the beams as they go around the 3.8km tunnel. The vacuum group works closely
together, but also with other groups. There are many other systems, such as magnets, diagnostics, detectors, etc. that need to interact with the beam. For that reason, those systems often interface with the vacuum chambers.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; text-align: left; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(21, 96, 130); font-weight: 600;">Why is this important to the EIC?
</span>As the electrons and ions go around in the ring, we do our best to make sure nothing gets in their way. If there was air, water vapor, or oils in the chambers, the beam would interact with them and become unstable. For that reason, our group works to
remove air and all other contaminants from the ring by creating a vacuum, similar to outer space. As a point of reference, the pressure in EIC vacuum chambers is often one trillionth the atmospheric pressure on Earth.</p>

<span style="color: rgb(21, 96, 130); font-weight: 600;">What is the most challenging aspect of your job?
</span>There can be many conflicting requirements, and designing a vacuum system often means walking the line between them. For example, moving parts that would typically use lubrication must be made with other low-friction solutions to avoid ruining the vacuum.
Even some metals need to be avoided. Physical space is also at a premium. A large vacuum chamber can be a good thing as it gives the beam plenty of space, but too large and it can start interfering with magnets and the systems around it.</p>

<span style="color: rgb(21, 96, 130); font-weight: 600;">Tell us about your career journey:
</span>My first full-time job was in sales engineering. I learned a lot, but I knew pretty quickly that I missed the design work that my courses prepared me for. I found a new role as a mechanical engineer in the semi-conductor/computer chip industry. That
was my first exposure to vacuum engineering. It was another great learning experience, and in many ways, it was a natural transition to join the EIC Vacuum group.</p>

<span style="color: rgb(21, 96, 130); font-weight: 600;">Where are you originally from?
</span>I am originally from Port Washington, NY. I also went to Stony Brook University, so I’m a life-long Long Islander. I really enjoy all the different foods, scenery, and activities Long Island has to offer.</p>

<span style="color: rgb(21, 96, 130); font-weight: 600;">What do you like to do outside of work?
</span>I enjoy playing guitar and spending time outside. My wife and I have a two-year-old dog with a lot of energy. So even in this cold weather, we’ve gone on many nice nature walks with our dog. I also play basketball at the BNL gym, including with other
EIC team members!</p>

<span style="color: rgb(21, 96, 130); font-weight: 600;"> What excites you about the EIC?
</span>It is exciting to think of the discoveries EIC will make and to be a small part of a bigger mission. EIC is such a large project, and I can’t wait to see it all come together and start producing state-of-the-art science. BNL has produced so much meaningful
science, and I’m excited to be a part of a new generation of discovery.</p>

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) Hadron Storage Ring (HSR) accelerates gold particles from an injection energy of 9.8 GeV to a storage energy 110 GeV. All species except protons cross
<span style="font-weight: 600;">γ</span>-transition, <span style="font-weight: 600;">
γ</span><sub>T</sub>, in the HSR which requires strategies in place to mitigate the beam loss and emittance growth. In RHIC, the first order matched scheme is used to reduce the tune shift and minimize the β and η waves produced by the G family of the γ transition
quadrupoles. If this localized compensation scheme is not preserved, the waves produced will increase, resulting in detrimental effects to the beam. An alternative method of crossing transition using resonance islands will be presented with results from the
first phase of experiments where beam was injected directly into resonance islands from a beam transport. This presentation provides, an explanation of
<span style="font-weight: 600;">γ</span><sub>T</sub>, the beam dynamics of the schemes investigated, and preliminary results of the APEX23-11.</p>
