Özet

Gamma-proton collisions allow unprecedented investigations of the low x and high Q(2) regions in quantum chromodynamics. In this paper, we investigate the luminosity for "ILC" x LHC(root s(ep) = 1.3 TeV) and "CLIC" x LHC(root s(ep) = 1.45 TeV) based gamma p colliders. Also we determine the laser properties required for high conversion efficiency. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
