Abstract

Gamma-proton collisions allow unprecedented investigations of the low x and high Q2Q^{2} regions in quantum chromodynamics. In this paper, we investigate the luminosity for "ILC"×\timesLHC (sep=1.3\sqrt{s_{ep}}=1.3 TeV) and "CLIC"×\timesLHC (sep=1.45\sqrt{s_{ep}}=1.45 TeV) based γp\gamma p colliders. Also we determine the laser properties required for high conversion efficiency.
