Description
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is a new particle collider facility to be built in the US with significant participation of the EIC Canada Collaboration. At the EIC, polarized electrons will collide with polarized protons or ions to answer questions about the origin of mass and spin of protons. The EIC Canada Collaboration will provide two pieces of key infrastructure for the EIC and its primary detector.
On the accelerator side we will build the 394 MHz Superconducting Radiofrequency crab cavities that will increase ten-fold the probability of collisions necessary for scientific discovery. The construction of these crab cavities will cement Canada's position at the forefront of superconducting radiofrequency technology. Aside from providing critical training for Canadian scientists and engineers, superconducting accelerator technology reduces the size of medical accelerators for cancer therapy and isotope production.
