Description
The Large Hadron-electron Collider and the Future Circular Collider in electron-hadron mode [1] will make possible the study of DIS in the TeV regime providing electron-proton collisions with per nucleon instantaneous luminosities around $10^{34}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$. In this talk we review the opportunities that these proposals offer for the determination of the structure of the proton. The complete unfolding of all parton species in a single experiment with high precision in an extended kinematic domain would be possible already in a first stage of the machine with modest integrated luminosity. We will also present the determination of the strong coupling constant with per mille accuracy using inclusive and jet DIS data.
