摘要：A brief overview is given on the physics, accelerator and detector design of the Large Hadron Electron Collider, the LHeC, which is the first deep inelastic scattering collider to possibly operate at the TeV energy scale. The design is directed to achieve integrated luminosities of O(100) fb−1, in synchronous pp and ep operation. A dedicated state of the art detector is envisaged to be built of very high precision and with acceptance down to small angles to access extreme values of negative four-momentum transfers squared Q2 > 106 GeV2 and of Bjorken x, 10−6 < x < 0.9. A new laboratory may thus be opened at CERN to accompany the LHC efforts for exploring the TeV energy scale with deep inelastic scattering measurements of unprecedented precision, scope and range, including a far reaching electron-ion scattering programme.
