4th EIC-BeamAI Collaboration Meeting

1 Sept 2026, 05:00 → 3 Sept 2026, 17:00 US/Eastern

Physical Sciences Bldg., Rooms 301/401 (Cornell University)

Georg Hoffstaetter (Cornell)

This event is the annual in-person meeting to discuss topics of the EIC-BeamAI Working Group of the international EIC accelerator collaboration and of the DOE-NP grants for AI/ML optimizations for polarization and emittance in EIC's hadron pre-injectors. We will analyze how an AI/ML architecture for the full EIC and its Digital Twins is motivated and shaped by the experiences gained through our AI readiness studies, international AI/ML collaborations, and our demonstrations on the EIC pre-accelerators. And we will recap past progress and future plans for science, publications, collaborations, and funding. The meeting will be held at the Physical Sciences Building, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. Registration link will be live soon, registration fee for in-person attendance is $200.
