The US Electron Ion Collider (EIC) has received the endorsement of the National Academy of Sciences committee last year – an important milestone along the path to realizing an EIC in the US. With this in mind, the Jefferson Lab EIC Center (EIC2, see www.eiccenter.org) established a Visitors-Program for summer 2019 to help begin to investigate, more quantitatively than previously, various aspects of the EIC. This Program will occur under the auspices of Jefferson Lab’s EIC Center; proposals for projects can be EIC site independent. Efforts have been underway to simulate science opportunities and detector performance within a generic EIC software umbrella, and similarly collaborative efforts are ongoing related to accelerator and detector R&D.
The envisioned visits to Jefferson Lab would take place between now and mid-September and would be 1 to 2 weeks duration with travel expenses including hotel and airfare covered by the laboratory. The visitors will be chosen by the EIC2 Director and Co-Directors based on a written proposal that outlines:
The possible projects to be proposed include (but are not limited to)
Examples of project deliverables can be a plot with EIC-projected conceptual data illustrating EIC energy, polarization, luminosity or versatility needs; a detector conceptualization including possible channel count and requirements; conceptualization towards polarization, luminosity and background measurements at an EIC; conceptualization of accelerator elements for diagnostics and beam transport and manipulation; and other such examples. We request the project deliverable, in the form of a one-to-two page document, to be submitted latest the last day of the visit.
If interested, please send a written proposal containing points 1 to 4 above in no more than two pages, to Douglas Higinbotham <doug@jlab.org>.
We are currently open to receive proposals and will continue to be so contingent upon funding availability.
Jefferson Lab has a rich history of doing parasitic detector tests in the experimental halls to ensure successful future experiments. One very high impact example was the test of neutron detector shielding in Hall A, which demonstrated how to clearly best shield the neutron detector and allow the triple coincidence short-range correlation experiment to proceed. This led to Hall A's first publication in the journal, Science.
Areas at Jefferson Lab where parasitic testing is possible are the high luminosity Halls A and C, and the low luminosity Hall B and Hall D. Dedicated testing is possible using the upgraded injector test facility, a 10 MeV electron beam area.
To order to do tests in any of these areas, the following must occur:
It is expected that the group doing the test will provide the detectors and electronics. Minimum help is needed from hall technical staff.
A copy of the Jefferson Lab beam schedule to the four experimental halls can be found here.
To facilitate outside groups who wish to test detectors for the future EIC in an electron beam environment, the EIC center is accepting requests and will help in determining which area at the lab would be best suited for a particular test. The EIC center will also help explain the training and safety requirement of Jefferson Lab to new users.
Further details about the areas and equipment avaliable in Hall B can be found here

The Electron-Ion Collider Center at Jefferson Lab (EIC2@JLab) is an organization to advance and promote the science program at a future electron-ion collider (EIC) facility. Particular emphasis is on the close connection of EIC science to the current Jefferson Lab 12 GeV CEBAF science program.
EIC2@JLab consolidates and connects the EIC physics and detector development activities in and around Jefferson Lab. These activities include:
Further, EIC2 coordinates with the following activities:
In addition, EIC2 establishes the following new activities:
The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) is located at 12000 Jefferson Avenue in Newport News, Virginia.

APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN For 2024
The EIC Center at Jefferson Lab, EIC2, is pleased to announce opportunities for graduate and post-doctoral fellowships.
These fellowships will be awarded to fund coming to Jefferson Lab to research a special topic. The current areas of research include theory, simulations, detectors, and computing as they relate to the EIC, Positrons or the proposed JLab 22 GeV upgrade. Each fellowship will provide travel to Jefferson Lab, housing and a per diem for a typical stay of ten weeks at the lab.
Eligible students must be enrolled full-time in a relevant doctoral program. Postdocs must have a full-time position with a relevant university or laboratory research program. . The awardees may not concurrently hold another major full-time fellowship or internship. The award is limited to once a year though awardees can reapply for an additional year.
To apply, a research plan must be provided according to the guidance provided below. The plan should be written by the applicant together with their university or laboratory advisor. The plan should contain clear goals and deliverable to be accomplished by the end of the Fellowship visit. Working with a Jefferson Lab staff member is encouraged.
The applications will be evaluated on an ongoing basis according to the following criteria:
The following application will be reviewed on an rolling basis.
The application materials must be sent by email to Patricia Cheeseboro <pcheese@jlab.org>.
Inquiries about the fellowship program should be directed to: Douglas Higinbotham (doug@jlab.org)
