TL;DR
This paper discusses an experimental program at CERN aimed at exploring Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) confinement phenomena using a new electron-proton and electron-nucleus collider with existing and future beams, leveraging a polarised electron beam from a new Energy Recovery Linac.
Contribution
It proposes a novel experimental setup at CERN utilizing existing and future beam infrastructure to investigate QCD confinement phenomena.
Findings
Design of a collider using SPS, SPL, and PS beams
Potential to explore QCD confinement at 5-20 GeV electron energies
Integration of a polarised electron beam from a new Energy Recovery Linac
Abstract
This note is an extended version of the contribution to the CERN Council Open Symposium on European Strategy for Particle Physics. It discusses an experimental programme to explore the QCD confinement phenomena at CERN with a new electron-proton and electron-nucleus collider using the existing SPS beams (optionally also the future SPL and PS proton and ions beams) and the polarised electron beam in the range of 5 to 20 GeV from a newly built Energy Recovery Linac.
