Description
The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) will be built at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in partnership with Jefferson Laboratory. With its high luminosity, polarized electron and light ion beams and its ability to bring any nucleus from protons to Uranium in collisions with electrons at various center of mass energies, it will arguably be the most versatile and powerful accelerator facility ever built for fundamental science. Equally innovative and powerful detectors - well integrated with the machine - are planned to extract the science from the collisions. In this talk, I will summarize the science of EIC, the state of its detector planning and speculate on future opportunities for novel scientific explorations (and collaborations).
