Based on current CERN infrastructure, an electron-proton collider is proposed at a centre-of-mass energy of about 9 TeV. A 7 TeV LHC bunch is used as the proton driver to create a plasma wakefield which then accelerates electrons to 3 TeV, these then colliding with the other 7 TeV LHC proton beam. The basic parameters of the collider are presented, which although of very high energy, has...

At Jefferson Lab, the conceptual design of a next generation facility, the medium energy electron ion collider (MEIC), to reach the frontier in Quantum Chromodynamics has been carried on for years. The MEIC will provide an electron beam with energy up to 10 GeV, a proton beam with energy up to 100 GeV, and heavy ion beams with corresponding energy per nucleon with the same magnetic rigidity. ...

An intense electron beam, when combined with the LHC (LHeC) or, in the further future, the FCC hadron beams (FCC-he), can lead to a unique, energy frontier DIS collider at CERN. This talk presents a summary of recent studies, including those about the design of the SCRF cavities and an initial Energy Recovery Linac Test Facility.

The proposal of Construction of CepC and SppC, the next generation energy frontier e+e- and pp circular colliders, in a common accelerator complex provides an opportunity to realize collisions of protons or ions with electrons or positrons in an ultra high center-of-mass energy range up to 4.2 TeV. This paper presents a preliminary design study of this e-p/A collider based on the CepC-SppC...

An intense electron beam, when combined with the LHC (LHeC) or, in the further future, the FCC hadron beams (FCC-he), can lead to a unique, energy frontier DIS collider at CERN. New results are shown of evaluations of the potential of eA physics at the energy frontier, including, for the first time, a determination of nuclear parton distributions based on only (simulated) eA data input.

The STAR collaboration proposes to construct a Forward Calorimeter System and Forward Tracking System for future polarized p+p, polarized p+A, and A+A beam operations at RHIC. The main scientific goals are to study Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) in the high and low Bjorken-x domain and to explore the properties of the strongly interacting Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). The proposed upgrades will...

Run-I at the LHC has been very successful, including the
discovery of a new particle with a mass of about 125 GeV and with
properties compatible with those of the Standard Model Higgs boson
within uncertainties. Precise measurements of the properties of this
boson, and the discovery of new physics beyond the Standard Model, are
primary goals of future running at the LHC. The physics...

The Electron Ion Collider (EIC, arXiv:1212.1701.v3) will allow for precision measurements of the partonic and spin structure of nucleons and the partonic structure of nuclear matter using e+p and e+A collisions, respectively. One of the realizations of the EIC, the eRHIC at BNL, plans to utilize the existing RHIC storage rings (polarized proton and other ion beams) and a high-intensity...

Inclusive and semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (DIS and SIDIS) are important tools for understanding the structure of nucleons and nuclei. Spin asymmetries in polarized SIDIS are directly related to transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs) and fragmentation functions. The usual collinear parton distribution functions depend on the fraction of hadron momentum carried by...
