Description

The latest developments concerning the possibility of making muon-hadron collisions by reusing the ERL infrastructure, proposed for the LHeC, will be presented. At the LH$\mu$C, a 500 GeV $\mu^+$ beam will be colliding with a 7 TeV proton beam, resulting in the centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=3.74$ TeV (higher than at the FCC-eh), with the expected luminosity above $10^{33}$cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$.

First half of the talk will be dedicated to the discussion of the LH$\mu$C concept – from the ultra-cold $\mu^+$ source, through the muon booster, to the main muon ring. Initial considerations regarding the machine-detector interface and the general-purpose detector will be also presented. In the second half, an overview of the LH$\mu$C scientific programme will be given, with highlights from QCD, through the Higgs-Electroweak-Top (HET) sector, to the beyond Standard Model case. The talk will conclude with a short discussion of unique and powerful synergies between the LH$\mu$C, LHeC, Muon Collider and FCC projects.
