Physics Benchmarks Team
The Physics Benchmarks Team is organized in 7 different working groups (WGs):
- Inclusive Reactions
- Electroweak and BSM
- Semi-inclusive Reactions
- Heavy Flavors and Jets
- Exclusive Reactions
- Diffractive and Tagging
- Simulations
This structure was inspired in the Yellow Report organization, with the addition of a dedicated group on Simulations and on Electroweak and BSM.
Physics Team meeting: https://indico.bnl.gov/category/346/
The WGs are organized by physics processes, and not by physics topics. The following table, extracted from the YR, shows the relationship between the science topics and the categories of measurements.
Open tasks in the Physics Benchmarks Team
A list of currently available open tasks for each of the working groups is available here: Open Tasks
If you're interested in contributing to the Physics Team of ECCE and/or have people in your group that would, please check the above link to find a suitable project.
Beam energies
The feasible ion energies at EIC (per nucleon) are the following:
| p | 41 GeV | Between 100 and 275 GeV |
| d | 41 GeV/u | Between 100 on 137 GeV/u |
| 3He | 41 GeV/u | Between 100 and 166 GeV/u |
| 4He | 41 GeV/u | Between 100 and 137 GeV/u |
| Au | 41 GeV/u | Between 100 and 110 GeV/u |
The maximum energy is given by the maximum beam rigidity, that must not exceed the corresponding value for protons at 275 GeV. The maximum energy is therefore 275×Z/A. 3He is special; with 2 protons and only one neutron its maximum energy can be higher.
The minimum energy is given by the fact that the Lorentz energy factor γ=E/m must be within the range of the one for protons (so that electron-ion collisions can be synchronized). The possible γ are 43.7 (for protons of 41 GeV) and from 106.6 to 293.1 for protons between 100 and 275 GeV (see section 3.3.2 of the EIC CDR).
Electron energies range between 5 and 18 GeV.
Given the above, we suggest the following energy combinations to be used for simulations (in order of priority):
| 1 | High energy setting: | 18 GeV on 275×Z/A GeV/u (except 18 GeV x 166 GeV/u for 3He) |
| 2 | Low energy setting: | 5 GeV on 41 GeV/u |
| 3 | Intermediate energy setting: | 10 GeV on 100 GeV/u |
Integrated luminosity
Notice that luminosity at EIC is always quoted per nucleon. The recommended integrated luminosity for plots is 10 fb-1 (expected integrated luminosity in one year of running). When simulating ion beams, this value should be divided by the number of nucleons (A).
Event generators
The following sections list the events generators used during the YR, with their steering cards and MC samples (when available).

It is not recommended to try and install these generators. They are installed on BNL machines, and they can be accessed through the Singularity container. For more information on this: (You may not even need to run these generators; the ROOT files from the Yellow Report might already have what you need)
