Description
Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is a new collider to explore the fundamental structure and dynamics of matter in the visible world. The EIC project includes a general-purpose detector: The ePIC Detector. The unique physics goals at the Electron-Ion Collider lead to specific design considerations for the electromagnetic calorimeter in the barrel region. The Barrel Imaging Calorimeter comprises silicon layers using the AstroPix sensors for position measurement, and bulk Pb-SciFi layers for energy measurement. Precise measurement of electron energy and shower profile will enable us to distinguish electrons from pions and to identify photons from pion decays. This talk will provide a plan and current R&D effort from Korean institutions for the ePIC Barrel Imaging Calorimeter. Korean institutions plan to contribute to the mass chip test and module assembly of the silicon layers. In addition, the production of a Pb-SciFi prototype is ongoing for further study including readout box, calibration, and integration with a silicon layer.
