MK.00001: A Future Muon-Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory Ethan W Cline There has been significant discussion in the community regarding a future μ+μ- collider. While such a facility is still decades away from realization, it is also understood that significant technological development and feasibility demonstrations are necessary at lower beam energies. Here we propose such a possibility coupled with a rich physics program. We propose a future Muon-Ion Collider that would serve as a natural extension to the EIC program currently planned in the 2030’s and 40’s. We envision this collider would be implemented as an upgrade to the EIC, with μ beam energies between 18 GeV and 200 GeV. In this presentation we discuss the physics reach of such a collider, which could reach x≈10-5 with a luminosity approaching 1033 cm−2 s−1. We argue that the physics reach of such a program is excellent and comparable to the LHeC, and it will facilitate accelerator technology development for the future muon collider. |

MK.00002: Luminosity Measurements for the Electron-Ion Collider ARANYA GIRI The future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) aims at precise measurements of electron-hadron cross sections and for this an accurate measurement of its luminosity is required. The luminosity detector at the EIC is inspired by the ZEUS experiment at HERA, measuring the bremsstrahlung photons from electron-hadron collisions. Improvements to the older (baseline) ZEUS detector design are investigated. Three detector designs have been proposed and are simulated in Geant4. Comparisons of the photon energy resolutions for each design will be shown. |

MK.00003: A high-granularity calorimeter insert for the future Electron-Ion Collider Miguel I Arratia One of the key requirements for detectors at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is to have tracking and full calorimetry with 2$\pi$ azimuthal acceptance over a large range in pseudorapidity. The forward region (3 |

MK.00004: Design Concept for an Imaging Barrel Electromagnetic Calorimeter for the EIC Maria K Zurek, Jihee Kim, Zein-Eddine Meziani, Chao Peng, Sylvester J Joosten, Paul E Reimer, Jessica E Metcalfe, Manoj Jadhav, Marshall Scott, Whitney R Armstrong The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will be an experimental facility to explore the gluons in nucleons and nuclei, shedding light on their structure and the interactions within them. Physics goals at the EIC lead to unique requirements for the barrel electromagnetic calorimeter design. The electron energy and shower profile measurements play a crucial role in the separation of electrons from background pions in Deep Inelastic Scattering processes. Moreover, the calorimeter must measure the energy and coordinates of photons and identify single photons originating from, e.g., the Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering process and photon pairs from π0 decays. We propose a design concept for the barrel electromagnetic calorimeter in the central detector region. Our hybrid design utilizes scintillating fibers embedded in Pb and imaging calorimetry based on monolithic silicon sensors (AstroPix). We have studied the proposed calorimeter in detail through realistic simulations to test it against the main requirements for the physics case of the EIC described in the community Yellow Report. In this talk, I will present the expected calorimeter performance based on simulations for the ATHENA (A Totally Hermetic Electron-Nucleus Apparatus) detector setup with a 3 T magnetic field, as well as for the EIC Detector-I with a 1.5 T magnetic field. |

MK.00005: Development of a Barrel Electromagnetic Calorimeter for the Electron Ion Collider Joshua P Crafts Since the publication of the DPAP final report in 2021 there has been considerable development and time invested into the EIC Project Detector. Inside the detector, one of the largest sub-systems is the Barrel EMCal. The reference technology of the Barrel EMCal consists of approximately 8000 blocks of homogenous scintillating material instrumented with Silicon Photo Multiplier readouts. It is planned to have a coverage of - η between -1.7 and 1.3 and is located between the DIRC and outer MPGD at its inner radius and the Barrel HCAL at its outer radius. Barrel EMCal is envisioned to consist of Sci-Glass; this scintillating material is a novel, cost-effective alternative to PbWO4 crystals, which have very good energy resolution to provide the desired electron detection and the separation for e/ π. In the refrence design the Sci-Glass is cut and polished into truncated rectangular pyramid in order to allow the detector to be constructed with a projective geometry. At CUA mechanical model for the Barrel EMCal is being created and testing of the Sci-Glass is ongoing as part of ERD105 in collaboration with the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. In this talk I will give an overview of the Barrel EMCal and its ongoing design development as relates to EIC Detector-1 as a whole along with a discussion of the new Sci-Glass material |

MK.00006: MAPS based tracking and vertexing for the future Electron-Ion Collider Ernst P Sichtermann, Nicole J Apadula, Yuan Mei, Beatrice Liang-Gilman Momentum, angle, and position measurement of charged particles scattered and produced in collisions at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) pose stringent requirements on the inner tracking and vertexing subsystem(s) of the EIC detector(s). Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) offer the possibility of high granularity in combination with low power consumption and low mass, making them ideally suited for these subsystems of the EIC detector(s). This talk will cover hardware R&D aspects towards a well-integrated, large-acceptance, precision tracking and vertexing solution for the EIC based on a new generation of MAPS in 65 nm CMOS imaging technology. |

MK.00007: Simulations of the Silicon Tracker for the Electron-Ion Collider Detector Emma R Yeats, Reynier Cruz Torres, Barbara V Jacak, Ernst P Sichtermann, Nicole J Apadula Experiments at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) pose stringent requirements on the tracking system for the accurate measurement of the scattered electron and charged particles produced in the collision, as well as the position of the collision point and any decay vertices of hadrons containing heavy quarks. Thus, the quality of the silicon tracker, employing Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) in 65 nm CMOS imaging technology, is important to the overall experimental success of the EIC. Within the 1.4 T solenoidal field anticipated for the EIC project detector, a careful optimization of the detector's geometry is required. This talk highlights the R&D, using Fun4All simulation software, towards a precision tracking and vertexing solution that will reach the standard of performance desired. |

MK.00008: The EIC Software Stack: Designing a Scientific Software Environment for the 2030s Wouter Deconinck, Sylvester J Joosten, Markus Diefenthaler, Zhoudunming Tu, Wenliang B Li, Cristiano Fanelli, David J Lawrence, Joe Osborn, Andrea Bressan, Tanja Horn, Torre J Wenaus, Kolja Kauder, Whitney R Armstrong, Cameron Dean The Electron-Ion Collider aims to start data taking in the 2030s. The EIC will be the first accelerator designed and built during the era of artificial intelligence, machine learning, streaming readout, and ubiquitous access to GPU and FPGA code accelerators at distributed computing clusters worldwide. The EIC Detector Collaboration has engaged in a deliberative user-centered design process to develop the nuclear physics software stack of the future, built for continuity, performance, flexibility and sustainability. Based on the EIC Statement of Software Principles, we have chosen several best-in-class software components from geometry description (DD4hep), data description (podio/EDM4hep), and event reconstruction, through code repository (GitHub) and continuous integration. In order to prepare the workforce for these technologies, we have developed a training plan for new researchers joining the EIC efforts or outside initiatives aiming to take advantage of the ecosystem we are developing. |
