The Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) project is the proposal to use the existing LHC proton/ion
beams and construct a new electron beam line to perform high-energy electron-proton/ion
collisions. In this talk, we consider some of the physics topics that could be studied in the electronion
mode. In particular, we estimate how much the current nuclear parton distribution fits could
be improved with the deeply inelastic scattering measurements at the LHeC by including pseudodata
into a global analysis. In addition, we discuss briefly other topics that would help to better
understand some aspects of heavy-ion collisions, namely small-x physics and hadron production
with a nuclear target.

Nuclear structure functions at a future electron-ion collider
Aschenauer, E. C.; Fazio, S.; Lamont, M. A. C.; Paukkunen, Hannu; Zurita, P. (American Physical Society, 2017)The quantitative knowledge of heavy nuclei’s partonic structure is currently limited to rather large values of momentum fraction x—robust experimental constraints below x ∼ 10−2 at low resolution scale Q2 are particularly ... -

Heavy quarks in polarised deep-inelastic scattering at the electron-ion collider
Hekhorn, Felix; Magni, Giacomo; Nocera, Emanuele R.; Rabemananjara, Tanjona R.; Rojo, Juan; Schaus, Adrianne; Stegeman, Roy (Springer, 2024)We extend the FONLL general-mass variableflavour-number scheme to the case of longitudinally polarised DIS structure functions, accounting for perturbative corrections up to O α2 s . We quantify the impact of charm quark ... -
A U.S.-based Electron-Ion Collider

Accessing the gluonic structure of light nuclei at a future electron-ion collider
Mäntysaari, Heikki; Schenke, Björn (American Physical Society, 2020)We show how exclusive vector meson production off light ions can be used to probe the spatial distribution of small-x gluons in the deuteron and 3He wave functions. In particular, we demonstrate how short-range repulsive ...
