Science MotivationA High Luminosity, High Energy Electron-Ion Collider:
A New Experimental Quest to Study the Glue which Binds Us All
How do we understand the visible matter in our universe in terms of the fundamental quarks and gluons of QCD?
Explore the new QCD frontier: strong color fields in nuclei How do the gluons contribute to the structure of the nucleus? What are the properties of high density gluon matter? How do fast quarks or gluons interact as they traverse nuclear matter?
Precisely image the sea-quarks and gluons in the nucleon How do the gluons & sea-quarks contribute to the spin structure of the nucleon? What is the spatial distribution of the gluons and sea quarks in the nucleon? How do hadronic final-states form in QCD?

Interaction Point
Energy Recovery Linac-Storage-Ring (ERL-R) ERL with Circulator Ring – Storage Ring (CR-R) Back to Ring-Ring (R-R) – by taking CEBAF advantage as
full energy polarized injector Challenge: high current polarized electron (positron) source
• ERL-Ring: 2.5 A• Circulator ring: 20 mA• State-of-art: 0.1 mA
12 GeV CEBAF Upgrade polarized source/injector already meets beam requirement of ring-ring design
CEBAF-based R-R design still preserves high luminosity, high polarization (+polarized positrons…)

ELIC Ring-Ring Design Features Unprecedented high luminosity
Enabled by short ion bunches, low β*, high rep. rate, large
synchrotron tune
Require crab crossing colliding beam
Electron cooling is an essential part of ELIC
Four IPs (detectors) for high science productivity
“Figure-8” ion and lepton storage rings
Ensure spin preservation and ease of spin manipulation
No spin sensitivity to energy for all species.
Present CEBAF gun/injector meets electron storage-ring requirements
The 12 GeV CEBAF can serve as a full energy injector to electron ring
Simultaneous operation of collider and CEBAF fixed target program.
Experiments with polarized positron beam are possible.
Electron Polarization in ELIC• Producing at source
Polarized electron source of CEBAF Preserved in acceleration at recirculated CEBAF Linac Injected into Figure-8 ring with vertical polarization
• Maintaining in the ring High polarization in the ring by electron self-polarization SC solenoids at IRs removes spin resonances & energy sensitivity.

Polarization lifetime • Depolarization can reduce polarization
(eg. spin flip, Sokolov-Ternov effect becomes depolarization)
• Replacement of electron/positron bunches as needed.
Positrons in CEBAF/ELIC
• Non-polarized positron bunches generated from modified electron injector through a converter
• Polarization realized through self-polarization at ring arcs

Low to Medium Electron-Ion Collider and Staging of ELIC: Motivations
A medium energy EIC becomes the low energy ELIC ion complex
ScienceLower energies and symmetric kinematics provide new science• Valence quarks/gluon structure beyond JLab 12 GeV
• Asymmetric sea for x ~ M / MN
• GPDs, transverse spin at x ~ 0.1
Accelerator Advantages/Benefits• Bring ion beams & associated technologies to JLab• Have an early ring-ring collider at JLab• Provides a test bed for new technologies required by ELIC• Develop expertise and experience, acquire/train technical staff
MEIC & Staging of ELIC
Medium Energy EIC Features
• High luminosity collider
L~ 2×1033 cm-2s-1 (9 GeV protons x 9 GeV electrons)
• CM energy region from 10 GeV (5x5 GeV) to 22 GeV (11x11 GeV), and possibly reaching 35 GeV (30x10 GeV)
• High polarization for both electron and light ion beams
• Natural staging path to high energy ELIC
• Possibility of positron-ion collider in the low to medium energy region
• Possibility of electron-electron collider (7x7 GeV) using just small 300 m booster/collider ring
MEIC Parameter Table
Key R&D Issues• Forming low energy ion beam and space charge effect
• Cooling of ion beams
• Beam-beam effect
• Dynamics of crab crossing beams and crab cavity development
• Traveling focusing scheme for MEIC
Summary• The ELIC collider promises to accelerate a wide variety of polarized light
ions and un-polarized heavy ions to high energy, to collider with polarized electron or positron beam enabling a unique physics program
• The final ELIC luminosity should comfortable exceed 1x1034 cm-2s-1 for electron(positron)-proton collisions
• Low/medium energy collider (MEIC) enables rich physics program not covered by high-energy collider. The initial design studies indicated that luminosity can exceed 1x1033 cm-2s-1 . Conceptual design iteration is still in progress.
• Positron beam can also be used for additional positron-ion and electron-positron collision programs. Both electron and positron beam possess high (>80%) polarization.
ELIC is the primary future goal of Jlab!
