COmpact detectoR for the Electron ion collider (CORE)

logo: CORE_Logo.pdf


General principles:

  • A detector built within and around a compact solenoid can enable the full EIC physics program
    • Compact size reduces cost and enables investments in key technologies for critical subsystems
      • Compact longitudinal size allows option of moving Final Focus Quadrupoles closer to the Interaction Point (IP)
      • Enables higher luminosity and higher far-forward angular acceptance
  • An all-Si digital tracker based on Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) technology fulfills the tracking requirements
  • High performance Particle ID is enabled by the past decade of EIC Generic Detector R&D
    • DIRC with focussing optics for hadron PID in `Barrel' region
    • Dual RICH (aerogel + heavy gas) for hadron PID in `ion-Endcap' region
  • Hadronic Calorimetry adapted to EIC kinematics/multiplicity
    • High granularity total absorption HCal in forward (ion) direction
    • Modest granularity (BELLE-II style) muon and K-Long ID in remainder of solenoid flux return
