Deep Inelastic Scattering at the TeV Energy Scale and the LHeC Project
Paul Newman
TL;DR
This paper discusses the potential of a new high-energy electron-proton collider at the LHC, exploring its design, capabilities, and scientific opportunities beyond previous experiments like HERA.
Contribution
It introduces the concept and feasibility of the LHeC project, a novel collider with significantly higher energy and luminosity for deep inelastic scattering studies.
Findings
Potential to reach five times the energy of HERA
Luminosity around 10^33 cm^-2 s^-1
Survey of physics goals and technical layouts
Abstract
The prospect of an ep collider involving an LHC proton beam and a new electron accelerator is discussed. Configurations reaching centre of mass energies a factor of 5 beyond HERA are possible with luminosities of the order of 10^33 cm^-2 s^-1. The physics programme with such a facility is surveyed and possible machine and detector lay-outs are sketched.
