Small-$x$ physics at the LHeC

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2018-11-16 v1 Nuclear Experiment Nuclear Theory

Abstract

The Large Hadron-electron Collider LHeC is a proposed upgrade of the LHC. It would add an electron beam to the LHC, and make it possible to study electron-proton and electron-nucleus collisions at very high energies. We present some of the highlights of the LHeC physics program related to the studies of partonic structure of protons and nuclei, and to the non-linear QCD phenomena visible at small xx.
