Abstract
The Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) is a proposed facility which will exploit the new world of energy and intensity offered by the LHC through collisions with a new 60 GeV electron beam. Designed for synchronous operation with the other LHC experiments, the LHeC will be a high luminosity ep and eA collider with a wide ranging physics program on high precision deep inelastic scattering and new physics. Highlights from the physics program will be illustrated along with details from the accelerator, interaction region and detector design.
Highlights
Deep inelastic lepton-hadron scattering is the cleanest and most precise probe of parton dynamics in protons and nuclei

By adding a 60 GeV electron beam to the LHC, the LHeC represents the only short term proposal for TeV-scale lepton-hadron scattering ideally complementing the LHC pp, AA and pA program and its discovery potential for physics beyond the Standard Model with high precision deep inelastic scattering (DIS) measurements. This writeup summarizes some of the central aspects of the LHeC project including a selection of physics highlights and an overview of the accelerator and the detector design
