Open kick-off meeting of the ep/eA@CERN Study
The mandate for the high-energy ep/eA study at CERN was renewed in October 2022: “CERN continues to support studies for the LHeC and the FCC-eh as potential options for the future and to provide input to the next Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics. The study is to further develop the scientific potential and possible technical realization of an ep/eA collider and the associated detectors at CERN, with emphasis on FCC.”
In consultation with the International Advisory Committee, the Coordination Panel has developed new impact objectives for the ep/eA@CERN study. During this open kick-off meeting we present these objectives and the organization.
Coordination Panel members (May 2023): Nestor Armesto, Maarten Boonekamp, Oliver Brüning, Daniel Britzger, Jorgen D’Hondt (spokesperson), Monica D’Onofrio, Claire Gwenlan, Uta Klein, Paul Newman, Yannis Papaphilippou, Christian Schwanenberger, Yuji Yamazaki.
International Advisory Committee members (May 2023): Phil Allport, Diego Bettoni, Frederick Bordry (chair), Abhay Deshpande, Rohini Godbole, Beate Heinemann, Karl Jakobs, Young-Kee Kim, Max Klein, Eric Laenen, Jean-Philippe Lansberg, Tadeusz Lesiak, Dave Newbold, Vladimir Shiltsev, Johanna Stachel, Achille Stocchi.
New mailing lists have been created for each working group and with just a few clicks you can subscribe to them. Anyone with a CERN account or a light account can register via: https://e-groups.cern.ch/ (use the search option, and search for “ep-eA-WG” in all e-groups).

WG 2: general-purpose high-energy physics program with precision physics and searches (conveners: M. D’Onofrio, U. Klein, C. Schwanenberger)
WG 3: ep/eA-physics empowering pp/pA/AA-physics (conveners: M. Boonekamp, D. Britzger, C. Schwanenberger)
WG 4: developing a general-purpose ep/eA detector (conveners: P. Newman, Y. Yamazaki)
WG 5: developing a sustainable LHeC and FCC-eh collider program (conveners: O. Bruning, Y. Papaphilippou)
