The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will be a world-leading facility for exploring the strong nuclear force—the fundamental interaction that binds quarks and gluons into protons, neutrons, and nuclei. Hosted at Brookhaven National Laboratory and built on the existing RHIC infrastructure, the EIC will bring high-energy electron beams into collision with protons and heavy ions to unlock deep insights into the structure of matter.
The realization of the EIC presents an array of scientific and technical challenges, offering a unique opportunity for the global accelerator community to engage in a major international project.
To support this, the EIC Accelerator Collaboration was officially launched in December 2023. Since its inception, the collaboration has taken flight, with growing international engagement and ongoing contributions to key areas of EIC design, R&D, and long-term performance planning.
We are pleased to announce a follow-up satellite event at IPAC25, taking place on 4th June in the Taipei International Convention Center (TICC), Taipei, Taiwan. This meeting will provide updates on the progress of the EIC Accelerator Collaboration, highlight new technical challenges and collaborative opportunities, and continue to strengthen ties within the global accelerator community.
All IPAC25 participants are warmly invited to attend.
The agenda will include:
-
Updates on the EIC project and the collaboration’s progress
-
Reports on ongoing technical developments and working groups
-
Future directions and international engagement
-
Open microphone discussion
-
Networking reception
