E.C. AschenauerEIC Detector R&D Committee Meeting, October Executive Summary Physicists representing several of the current EIC R&D efforts met for two days at Brookhaven Lab. The purpose of the meeting was to consolidate simulation efforts to most efficiently formulate: 1) Physics-driven detector performance constraints. 2) Radiation dose estimates (including machine-specific backgrounds). 3) Coherent simulation strategies. Presentations included discussion on: * The physics scope of EIC. * Processes that drive detector performance. * Current software efforts. * Available computing resources. * Detailed machine designs. * Current machine-background estimates. In the concluding session, the participants formulated both their broad goals and a short-term To-Do list. BROAD GOALS: 1) Formulate Requirement Tables/Maps. Each requirement table/map stipulates the limiting values of a detector performance parameter (e.g. dp/p, material budget, PID purity) as functions of both polar angle and particle momentum. These tables/maps in principle can be made for each driving physics process. 2) Formulate a Dose Table/Map. Dose Tables/maps specify the radiation load on detector systems from various sources (collisions, backgrounds) as functions of detector location. 3) Build a Full Simulation. The full simulation should follow modern coding practices as a "virtual simulation framework" (e.g. FairRoot or GEMC) and incorporate both physics and background sources.

E.C. AschenauerEIC Detector R&D Committee Meeting, October ) Formulate Systematic Error Estimates. EIC will be systematics-limited, not statistics-limited. Experimental sources of systematic error (calibration, scale determination, final state radiation, machine background) should be evaluated relative to attainable theoretical uncertainties. Clearly this task requires the detailed full detector simulation for measurements of inclusive, exclusive, and SIDIS channels. SHORT TERM TO DO LIST: 1) Constraint Maps: Develop requirement maps for SIDIS & DVCS to complement those for inclusive cross sections. 2) Dose Maps: Starting with the physics dose map, add backgrounds from the electron beam (bremsstrahlung) and hadron beam (beam-gas). 3) Simulation Development: a- Implement a double-solenoid field map. b- Stipulate by and Phone Conference the radial budgets for detector subsystems. c- Assign initial coding options to people with appropriate interests.
