ERLC (Twin LC) and LHC/FCC Based eA Colliders

TL;DR

The paper discusses the design and potential of ERLC (Twin LC) colliders, positioned tangentially to LHC or FCC, enabling high-energy electron-ion collisions to advance understanding of QCD and nuclear structure.

Contribution

It introduces the concept of ERLC (Twin LC) colliders as a novel approach for high-energy eA collisions with comparable luminosity to existing designs but at higher energies.

Findings

Achievable luminosities similar to ERL60 based eA colliders.

Center-of-mass energies are significantly higher.

Potential for advancing QCD and nuclear physics research.

Abstract

Construction of the ERLC (twin LC) collider tangential to LHC or FCC will give opportunity to realize eA collisions at multi-TeV center-of-mass energies. Luminosity estimations show that values comparable with that of ERL60 based eA colliders are achievable while center of mass energies are essentially higher. Certainly, proposed eA colliders have great potential for clarifying QCD basics and nuclear structure.
