Název anglicky / Title English: Luminosity measurement at the Electron Ion Collider

Osnova / Outline:

Tasks for the Electron Ion Collider (EIC), now in its design phase include questions on properties of electromagnetic and nuclear forces and on 
internal structure of protons and nuclei [1].

Of utmost importance to most of the EIC measurements is precise knowledge of luminosity delivered by the accelerator to the detector [2].

Main focus of the thesis is contribution to detector simulation studies [3] related to the mechanism for luminosity measurement in participation with dedicated working group within the EIC project, and potential further development of the measurement design.

Plán práce:
Říjen/Listopad: General introduction to the EIC project and detector simulations
Listopad/Prosinec: Introduction to simulation tools, reproduction of several basic results
Prosinec/Leden: Writing down first parts of the thesis, talk at the winter workshop
Únor/Duben: Performing the relevant detector simulations, evaluation and potential development
Duben/Květen: Writing down the thesis
