Description
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is designed to explore the three-dimensional structure of nucleons and nuclei with unprecedented precision through polarized ep and eA collisions over a wide range of energies. To fulfill this scientific mission, the ePIC experiment is being developed as a general-purpose and high-performance detector system, integrating state-of-the-art tracking, calorimetry, particle identification, and forward/tagging subsystems. This presentation will provide an overview of the current status for the ePIC detector. In addition, recent advancements in simulation and performance studies, along with their impacts on refining our understanding of nucleon and nuclear structure, will be highlighted.
