Future Measurement of the Longitudinal Proton Structure Function at HERA

TL;DR

This paper explores the potential for future measurements of the proton's longitudinal structure function at HERA using varied proton beam energies to enhance understanding of proton structure.

Contribution

It proposes a novel approach to measure $F_{L}(x,Q^{2})$ at HERA with different beam energies, which has not been previously implemented.

Findings

Potential for improved measurement accuracy of $F_{L}(x,Q^{2})$

Enhanced understanding of proton structure functions

Feasibility of using different beam energies at HERA

Abstract

A study is presented of a possible future measurement of the longitudinal structure function $F_{L}(x,Q^{2})$ with different proton beam energies at HERA.
