prof. dr hab. Krzysztof Piotrzkowski (AGH): LHuC: A high energy, high luminosity muon-hadron collider at CERN

Friday May 22, 2026, 10:15 AM → 11:00 AM Europe/Warsaw

Abstract:

The latest developments concerning the possibility of making muon-hadron collisions by reusing the ERL infrastructure, proposed for the LHeC,

will be presented. At the LHuC, a 1 TeV \mu+ beam will be colliding with a 7 TeV proton beam, resulting in the centre-of-mass energy of 5.3 TeV, with the expected luminosity above 10^33 cm-2s-1. First, an overview of the LHuC scientific programme will be given, with highlights from QCD, through the Higgs-Electroweak-Top (HET) sector, to the beyond Standard Model case. The second part of the talk will be dedicated to the discussion of the LHuC concept – from the ultra-cold \mu+ source, through the muon booster, to the main muon ring. Initial considerations regarding the machine-detector interface and the general-purpose detector will be also presented. The talk will conclude with a short discussion of unique and powerful synergies between the LHuC, LHeC, Muon Collider and FCC projects.
