Description
The design of the future electron-ion collider EIC at Brookhaven National
Laboratory has been continuously evolving towards a realistic, low-risk design
that meets all the requirements set forth by the nuclear physics community in
the White Paper. Over the past year activities have been focused on maturing the
design, and on developing alternatives to mitigate risk. These include
modifications to the interaction region, converting the second RHIC ring into
a full-energy hadron injector, and modifications of the hadron ring vacuum
system to accommodate the high average and peak beam currents.
We will present the eRHIC design with a focus on recent developments.
