The feasibility of a CLIC-LHC based FEL-nucleus collider is investigated. It is shown that the proposed scheme satisfies all requirements of an ideal photon source for the Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence method. The tunability, monochromaticity and high polarization of the FEL beam together with high statistics and huge energy of LHC nucleus beams will give an unique opportunity to determine different characteristics of excited nuclear levels. The physics potential of the proposed collider is illustrated for a beam of Pb nuclei.

$2\times250$ GeV CLIC $γγ$ Collider Based on its Drive Beam FEL

CLIC is a linear $e^+e^-$ ($γγ$) collider project which uses a drive beam to accelerate the main beam. The drive beam provides RF power for each corresponding unit of the main linac through energy extracting RF structures. CLIC has a wide range of center-of-mass energy options from 150 GeV to 3 TeV. The present paper contains optimization of Free Electron Laser (FEL) using one bunch of CLIC drive beam in order to provide polarized light amplification using appropriate wiggler and luminosity spectrum of $γγ$ collider for $E_{cm}$=0.5 TeV. Then amplified laser can be converted to a polarized hig…

Linac*LHC based ep, gamma-p, eA, gamma-A and FEL gamma-A Colliders

Main parameters of different colliders which can be realized if a special 1 TeV energy linear electron accelerator or corresponding linear collider is constructed tangential to LHC are estimated. It is shown that L_ep=10^32cm^-2s^-1 at sqrt(s_ep)=5.29 TeV can be achieved within moderate upgrade of LHC parameters. Then, gamma-p collider with the same luminosity and sqrt(s)=4.82 TeV can be realized using Compton backscattering of laser beam off the electron beam. Concerning the nucleus beam, L*A=10^31cm^-2s^-1 can be achieved at least for light and medium nuclei both for eA and gamma-A options. …

Linac*LHC Based ep, Gamma-p, eA, Gamma-A and FEL Gamma-A Colliders: Luminosity and Physics

Main parameters and physics goals of different colliders, which can be realized if a special 1 TeV energy linear electron accelerator or corresponding linear collider is constructed tangential to LHC, are discussed. It is shown that L_(ep)=10^(32)cm^(-2)s^(-1) at sqrt(s_(ep))=5.29 TeV can be achieved within moderate upgrade of LHC parameters. Then, Gamma-p collider with he same luminosity and sqrt(s)=4.82 TeV can be realized using Compton backscattering of laser beam off the electron beam. Concerning the nucleus beam, L*A=10^(31)cm^(-2)s^(-1) can be achieved at least for light and medium nucle…

A primary electron beam facility at CERN -- eSPS Conceptual design report

The design of a primary electron beam facility at CERN is described. The study has been carried out within the framework of the wider Physics Beyond Colliders study. It re-enables the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) as an electron accelerator, and leverages the development invested in Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) technology for its injector and as an accelerator research and development infrastructure. The facility would be relevant for several of the key priorities in the 2020 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, such as an electron-positron Higgs factory, accelerator R\&D, …
