Calorimetry for the ePIC Experiment

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will deliver collisions of electrons with protons and nuclei at a wide variety of energies and at luminosities up to 1000 times higher than HERA. Precise measurement of both the scattered electron and the hadronic final state is crucial for the physics of the EIC, necessitating unique designs for the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters in the backward (-4 < 𝜂 < -1.4), central (-1.4 < 𝜂 < 1.4), and forward (1.4 < 𝜂 < 4) regions. To ensure maximal containment of energy and acceptance for the required physics processes, the Electron- Proton/Ion Collider (ePIC) detector employs calorimetry over almost the entire polar angle. This proceedings will provide an overview of the current calorimeter designs being employed in ePIC.

Abstract

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will deliver collisions of electrons with protons and nuclei at a wide variety of energies and at luminosities up to 1000 times higher than HERA. Precise measurement of both the scattered electron and the hadronic final state is crucial for the physics of the EIC, necessitating unique designs for the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters in the backward (-4 < 𝜂 < -1.4), central (-1.4 < 𝜂 < 1.4), and forward (1.4 < 𝜂 < 4) regions. To ensure maximal containment of energy and acceptance for the required physics processes, the Electron- Proton/Ion Collider (ePIC) detector employs calorimetry over almost the entire polar angle. This proceedings will provide an overview of the current calorimeter designs being employed in ePIC.
