Sent on Behalf of Jim Yeck, EIC Project Director & Associate Laboratory Director

Dear EIC Team:

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) partner host labs, Brookhaven National Laboratory and Jefferson Lab, are pleased to announce the formal leadership roles for the EIC Accelerator Collaboration and to encourage national and international research teams to join this collaboration.  The EIC Accelerator Collaboration will be co-chaired by Prof. Carsten Welsch (University of Liverpool, UK) and Prof. Andrei Seryi (Jefferson Lab and Old Dominion University), both of whom have had broad experiences in accelerator physics and technology, and in establishing collaborative environments with international participation.

This leadership team will establish a formal international collaboration, rooted in the 2020 and 2021 EIC accelerator workshops, which attracted hundreds of participants from more than 20 countries, as well as numerous technical meetings with representatives from national and international institutions. The EIC will be constructed at Brookhaven National Laboratory and will be a world-leading facility for nuclear physics.  The EIC design, construction, and future upgrades have many exciting scientific and technical challenges, creating opportunities for a worldwide accelerator collaboration to become part of this exciting endeavor.  The EIC Accelerator Collaboration will benefit the EIC project, collaborating partners, and the wider community of accelerator experts. The EIC Accelerator Collaboration will also enhance the developments of the evolution, upgrades, and the ultimate performance of the EIC facility.

The collaboration kick-off meeting will be held as a satellite meeting at the IPAC2024 conference in May 2024 in Nashville, TN, USA.  Please welcome Carsten and Andrei to this role and provide them with your support.

We invite and look forward to your engagement in this exciting opportunity of the EIC Accelerator Collaboration!

JoAnne Hewitt, Brookhaven National Laboratory Director
Stuart Henderson, Jefferson Lab Director
Jim Yeck, EIC Project Director & Associate Laboratory Director
