Luminosity upgrade of CLIC-LHC EP/?P collider

Abstract

An energy frontier or QCD Explorer ?p and collider can be realized by colliding high-energy photons beam, at either 75 GeV or 1.5 TeV, with protons or ions stored in the LHC. In this study we discuss a performance optimization of this type of collider by tailoring the parameters of both CLIC and LHC. An estimate of the ultimately achievable luminosity is given. ©2007 IEEE.
