| Title | Control software and technology choices for the electron-ion collider |

| Abstract | The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will succeed the current Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. For over two decades, RHIC and its injectors have relied on a homegrown Accelerator Device Object (ADO)-based control system, which has provided a reliable and efficient operational framework. However, the EIC’s requirements—such as a greater number of subsystems, higher uptime, increased data rates, and other factors—demand significant enhancements. Advances in both hardware and software technologies since the RHIC era have expanded the range of available options, each with its own set of benefits and challenges. In response, the EIC plans to deploy state-of-the-art technologies to meet these elevated demands, favoring open-source and community-driven solutions wherever feasible. This talk will focus on the control software and the technology choices under consideration and the strategies being adopted for the EIC. |
