Description
The LHeC is a proposed upgrade of the LHC to study ep/eA collisions
in the TeV regime, by adding a 60 GeV electron beam through an Energy Recovery Linac (ERL). The LHeC is designed to run synchronously with the LHC. Recent advances in the design and simulations of the ERL will be presented, with focus on the goal for a luminosity of order $10^{34}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ as is desirable for Higgs precision physics. The talk will include design considerations for an intense ERL facility in the basic LHeC 3-pass configuration, which is dedicated to SCRF developments at CERN and opens prospects for low energy electron and photon-nucleon physics applications.
