An experiment for electron-hadron scattering at the LHC
The proposed LHeC facility will provide electron-proton (nucleus)collisions with (per nucleon) instantaneous luminosities around 10^34(10^33) cm^-2s^-1 by colliding a 50 GeV electron beam from a highlyinnovative energy-recovery linac system with the LHC hadron beams,concurrently with other experiments for hadron-hadron collisions. TheLHeC scientific programme is very complementary to the HL-LHC one andwould also significantly enhance it. In this talk, I will summarize theLHeC research scope and present the status of accelerator and detectordesigns, and discuss future developments as well as an exciting path forthe LHeC realization.
