Deep Inelastic Scattering at the TeV Energy Scale and the LHeC Project

Abstract

The prospect of an ep collider involving an LHC proton beam and a new electron accelerator is discussed. Configurations reaching centre of mass energies a factor of 5 beyond HERA are possible with luminosities of the order of 10^33 cm^-2 s^-1. The physics programme with such a facility is surveyed and possible machine and detector lay-outs are sketched.
