Overview of the LHeC and FCC-he accelerator concepts

Abstract

The Large Hadron-Electron Collider is designed to move the field of deep inelastic scattering to the energy and intensity frontier of particle physics. Exploiting energy-recovery technology, it collides a novel, intense electron beam with a proton or ion beam from the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider. The accelerator and interaction regions are designed for concurrent electron-proton and proton-proton operations. This paper represents the concepts of an updated design study and discusses the design challenges of the project.

eA and high parton densities at the LHeC and FCC-he

“…In this contribution we focus on the possibilities at the LHeC and FCC-he for the determination of nPDFs, and for studies on small-𝑥 physics and diffraction. We discuss material contained in [1][2][3], where we refer the reader for further information, plus some newer ideas [5][6][7].…”
