Description
In this talk I shall propose a cost-less method of delivering monochromatic electron beam to the LHC interaction points by using heavy ions as carriers of projectile electrons. Following a short presentation of the acceleration, storage and collision-stability aspects of a such a hybrid beam, I shall introduce briefly a new beam-cooling method which can be tested in such a collision scheme. The main part of this talk will be devoted to a discussion of the physics potential of the proposed Parasitic Ion-Electron (PIE) collider, with emphasis on those of the PIE merits, which may have a direct impact on the standard pp, pA and AA physics program at the LHC.
