ERHIC Workshop (2nd) Workshop Proceedings. Held at Yale University on June 21,2000

摘要

This Workshop on eRHIC at Yale is the second one on the topic of studyingelectron-nucleon and electron-nucleus collisions at BNL using the RHJC rings and an additional electron ring to be built in the RHIC tunnel. This facility is designated eRHK. The first workshop was held at Brookhaven National Laboratory on December 3-4, 1999 and focused primarily on the physics motivations for electron-ion(e-A) scattering at eRHIC. The present workshop at Yale deals with e-A physics as well as polarized e-p physics. In addition, the accelerator design options for the electron ring in the RHIC tunnel were discussed in some detail. The conceptual design for a e-p/A collider detector for eRHIC were considered for the f5rst time. It is expected that in the next few months, through formal and informal meetings of those who attended this workshop, a more detailed physics program possible at RHIC will be developed. A third workshop will take place at BNL from June 26 to July 14.
