eRHIC Design Status

The electron-ion collider eRHIC aims at a luminosity around 10³⁴cm⁻²sec⁻¹, using strong cooling of the hadron beam. Since the required cooling techniques are not yet readily available, an initial version with a peak luminosity of 3*10³³cm⁻²sec⁻¹ is being developed that can later be outfitted with strong hadron cooling. We will report on the current design status and the envisioned path towards 10³⁴cm⁻²sec⁻¹ luminosity.
