Abstract

A polarized Medium energy Electron-Ion Collider (MEIC) is envisioned as the future nuclear science at JLab beyond the 12 GeV CEBAF fixed target program. With some minor changes, this facility should also be able to accommodate electron-ion collisions in a low energy range, covering proton energies from 10 to 25 GeV and ion energies with a similar magnetic rigidity, thus extending its science reach. In this paper, we present a design concept of this low energy electron-ion collider, LEIC, showing its maximum luminosity can reach 10 33 cm-2s-1. The design specifies that the large booster of MEIC is converted to a low energy ion collider ring with an interaction region and an electron cooler integrated to it. LEIC could be positioned as the first and low cost phase of the electron-ion collider program at JLab.
