JLEIC forward detector design and performance

Abstract

A major part of the physics program at the Electron-Ion Collider being planned in the US is the exploration of nucleon and nuclear structure. This program means that detection of particles that move in the forward direction and are associated with the beam electrons and protons(ions) is an important part of the detector design as well as of the accelerator and interaction area designs. The current planning of the forward detection for the Jefferson Lab Electron-Ion Collider is discussed.
