The Electron Ion Collider

Chris Tschalaer

Three collider concepts are presented: the 7-on-32 GeV e-p and the 10-on-250/100 GeV e-p/A ring-ring colliders, and the 10-on-250/100 GeV e-p/A linac-ring collider. Their basic limitations and potential luminosities are assessed and compared as well as schemes for beam polarisation and electron cooling of the hadron beams.
