AI总结：
本研究提出依托现有RHIC设施建造电子-离子对撞机eRHIC的方案，采用创新加速器技术实现极化电子与强子束对撞，满足QCD前沿研究的关键测量需求。
摘要：
本文件介绍了布鲁克海文国家实验室（BNL）的电子-离子对撞机eRHIC规划，这是一款依托现有相对论重离子对撞机（RHIC）设施打造的重要新型研究工具，旨在推进核物理的长期愿景，即发现并理解量子色动力学（QCD）的涌现现象——QCD是约束原子核的强相互作用基础理论。我们基于2012年学界发布的白皮书《电子-离子对撞机：下一个QCD前沿》，阐述了此类设施的科学需求，并提出了融合新型创新加速器技术的设计方案，可通过极化电子束与RHIC全系列强子束对撞，实现RHIC的高性价比升级。新设施在15.9 GeV极化电子与250 GeV极化质子或100 GeV/u重离子束对撞时，电子-核子亮度可达10^33-10^34 cm⁻¹s⁻¹；该设施还能提供21.2 GeV的电子束能量，但亮度会有所降低。我们讨论了为实现该项目正在开展的研发工作，并提出了关键探测器需求与实验项目设计思路，以支撑EIC白皮书所要求的“黄金测量”。
英文摘要：
This document presents BNL's plan for an electron-ion collider, eRHIC, a major new research tool that builds on the existing RHIC facility to advance the long-term vision for Nuclear Physics to discover and understand the emergent phenomena of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the fundamental theory of the strong interaction that binds the atomic nucleus. We describe the scientific requirements for such a facility, following up on the community-wide 2012 white paper, 'Electron-Ion Collider: the Next QCD Frontier', and present a design concept that incorporates new, innovative accelerator techniques to provide a cost-effective upgrade of RHIC with polarized electron beams colliding with the full array of RHIC hadron beams. The new facility will deliver electron-nucleon luminosity of 10^33-10^34 cm-1sec-1 for collisions of 15.9 GeV polarized electrons on either 250 GeV polarized protons or 100 GeV/u heavy ion beams. The facility will also be capable of providing an electron beam energy of 21.2 GeV, at reduced luminosity. We discuss the on-going R&D effort to realize the project, and present key detector requirements and design ideas for an experimental program capable of making the 'golden measurements' called for in the EIC White Paper.
