eRHIC: The Electron-Ion-Collider at BNL

A high luminosity polarized e-p/d and unpolarized e-A collider to study the hyperfine structure of the nucleon including (spin and flavor) and to explore nuclear matter at high parton densities.

The eRHIC project is being developed presently on three fronts:

The eRHIC physics
The eRHIC electron beam:

Accelerator and interaction region design
Electron beam polarimetry

The eRHIC detector

2001 NSAC Long Range Planning Exercise & EIC/eRHIC White Paper

A white-paper on the Electron Ion Collider (EIC) was submitted in 2001 to the NSAC during it's long range planning discussions and meetings. The final version of the White-Paper on the Electron Ion Collider can be found here.
