/ Abstract

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”×LHC ( √ sep = 1.3 TeV) and “CLIC”×LHC ( √ sep = 1.45 TeV) based p colliders. Also we determine the laser properties required for high conversion efficiency.
