The Large Hadron electron Collider as a bridge project for CERN

Abstract

The Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) is proposed as a bridge project between the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) and future colliders at CERN, such as the FCC. The LHeC would provide electron-proton collisions with high luminosity, serving as both a technological and physics bridge. This paper highlights the LHeC’s role in advancing accelerator and detector technologies, as well as its physics program, which includes precision measurements of parton distribution functions, deep inelastic scattering studies, and searches for new physics. The LHeC could operate after the regular HL-LHC program, providing a natural progression in CERN’s collider program.
