Production of ultra-high-energy (UHE) particles in astrophysics should not be different from the hadron production at the contemporary proton colliders. LHC experiments are providing us with the proton spectra at very high energy (VHE) that…
The J/\Psi(1S) and \Psi'(2S) production near threshold in antiproton-nucleus reactions is calculated on the basis of the Glauber model. The model takes into account the antiproton (pre)absorption, proton Fermi motion, and charmonium…
Based on current CERN infrastructure, an electron-proton collider is proposed at a centre-of-mass energy of about 9 TeV. A 7 TeV LHC bunch is used as the proton driver to create a plasma wakefield which then accelerates electrons to 3 TeV,…
We discuss the studies on structure functions at the possible future RCNP facility. At this stage, an electron-proton or proton-proton collider with sqrt{s}=5 - 10 GeV is considered. We explain large-x physics, nuclear modification of…

Experiments on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN represent our furthest excursion yet along the energy frontier of particle physics. The goal of probing physical processes at the TeV energy scale puts strict requirements on the performance…
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a proposed high-luminosity collider that would collide electrons with their antiparticles, positrons, at energies ranging from a few hundred Giga-electronvolts (GeV) to a few Tera-electronvolts (TeV).…

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. In $ep$, high precision top and electroweak physics can be performed, such as…
CERN has recently launched the Future Circular Collider (FCC) study to deal with all aspects of an ambitious post-LHC possible programme. The emphasis of the study is on a 100 TeV proton collider to be housed in a 80-100 km new ring in the…
I discuss how global QCD fits of parton distribution functions can make the somewhat separated fields of high-energy particle physics and lower energy hadronic and nuclear physics interact to the benefit of both. I review specific examples…
Heavy ion collisions, produced in particle accelerators, lead to the formation of a new state of matter, known as the quark gluon plasma. It is not possible to observe directly the plasma, where quarks and gluons are not confined into…
We discuss current plans for experiments with ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions with heavy beams at LHC energy ($\sqrt{s} = 5.5$ TeV/nucleon pair). Emphasis will be placed on processes which are unique to the LHC program. They include…
