Description

In this talk we present initial accelerator considerations on a common IR to be built which alternately could serve $eh$ and $hh$ collisions at the HL-LHC, while other experiments would stay on $hh$ in either condition [1]. A forward-backward symmetrised option of the LHeC detector is sketched which would permit extending the LHeC physics programme to also include aspects of hadron-hadron and heavy ion physics.
