Description
The Future Circular Collider for electron-hadron collisions (FCC-eh) is a design study, that investigates colliding one of the hadron beams of the FCC with an intense, high energy electron beam.
The e-p collisions for deep inelastic scattering physics (DIS) would take place in one of the FCC interaction regions, concurrently to the on-going p-p collisions in the other interaction points. Since only one of the two proton beams from the FCC collides with the electron beam, the second proton beam needs to be guided around this interaction point, as to enable p-p collisions in the remaining interaction points.
The electrons would be accelerated in an energy recovery linear accelerator (ERL) adjacent to the FCC, to a final energy of 60 GeV. After the e-p collisions, the electron beam is guided back into the ERL in counter phase, so that the beam is decelerated and its energy recovered. The impact of the electron bending and focusing scheme on the proton beam dynamics has been investigated and a separation scheme for the two proton beams in the e-p interaction region has been designed with MAD-X.
