Description
We discuss the potential of the recently proposed LH$\mu$C (anti-muon-hadron collider at CERN) in exploring both the perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of QCD. With the access to an unprecedentedly low Bjorken $x$, which will be as low as $10^-7$ at perturbative virtualities $Q^2\simeq 1$ GeV$^2$, the LH$\mu$C will allow to study the properties of protons and nuclei in the gluon saturation regime, where the nonlinear evolution equations for parton distribution functions become indispensable. Furthermore, an access to low-$x$ at large virtualities will significantly bring down the uncertainties in co-linear PDFs and has potential for precise extraction of the strong coupling constant.
