Topics on the Physics Potential and Detector Aspects of the LC-HERA ep collider

Abstract

We present a brief account of some physics topics which could be addressed at a collider consisting of the HERA proton ring and the future e + e − Linear Collider. A few experimental aspects are also discussed.

Measurements of the photon structure function at LEP

“…OPAL works on a low-x analysis for F γ 2 (x, Q 2 ) and F e 2 (z, Q 2 ) using the complete statistics; L3 plans an analysis in the full kinematical plane using the complete LEP statistics, and ALEPH may possibly perform an analysis with the full data sample at high Q 2 . On the longer term, an extension of the present kinematic region and improved quality of the data can be expected only at a future linear collider [1] or photon collider [11]. At a photon collider the coverage and precision can be of similar quality as the one of today's proton measurements.…”

A Review of TeV Scale Lepton-Hadron and Photon-Hadron Colliders

“…A brief account of some SM physics topics (structure functions, hadronic final states, high Q 2 region etc.) is presented in [13], where a possible upgrade of the H1 detector is considered. The BSM search capacity of the machine will be defined by future results from LHC.…”

“…The work on the subject is in progress [18]. A possible layout of a detector for TESLA⊗HERA based ep collider, which can be used also for eA option, is presented in [13].…”
