Abstract

Gamma-proton collisions allow unprecedented investigations of the low x and high $Q^{2}$ regions in quantum chromodynamics. In this paper, we investigate the luminosity for "ILC" $\times$ LHC ( $s_{e p} = 1.3$ TeV) and "CLIC" $\times$ LHC ( $s_{e p} = 1.45$ TeV) based $I^^{3} p$ colliders. Also we determine the laser properties required for high conversion efficiency.
