EIC Generic Detector R&D ProgramEstablish a peer reviewed program of R&D to enable EIC experiments

Program initiated January 2011 with first call for proposals.Advisory Committee meetings: May 2011, December 2011, May 2012

22 proposals received. 10 activities funded.

Committee has stressed the formation of consortia of universities and national labs, and quantitative understanding of performance requirements (e.g. for “golden measurements” from 2010 INT workshop).

Advisory Committee members: (Glenn Young, 2012 Chair)Marcel Demarteau (Argonne) Carl Haber (LBNL) Robert Klanner (Hamburg) Ian Shipsey (Purdue) Rick Van Berg (Penn) Jerry Va’vra (SLAC)Glenn Young (Jlab)

General recommendations from previous meetings: shaping the program

Simulation studies strongly encouraged“to maximize acceptance and efficiency for each golden measurement while minimizing machine backgrounds, and backgrounds from other physics processes”.

Importance of the formation of consortia of universities and national labs:• Much work needs to be done on each class of detector technique to identify appropriate

technologies through simulation, prototyping, etc.

• Such consortia are the first step toward building scientific collaborations that can successfully mount EIC experiments.

Explore connections between EIC interests and other R&D programs that are going on inthe world (e.g. HEP, ILC, CERN, FAIR, as well as other NP programs)

Matching the technology to the physics environment• “Proposers need to include a discussion and tables of performance requirements and their

resulting detector specifications to meet them.” (See reference detector designs)

• The community needs to develop an understanding of the radiation dose and backgrounds expected for each of the two machine proposals.
