  The LHeC project studies the design of a future electron-proton collider at CERN that will run in parallel to the standard LHC operation. For this purpose, the existing LHC storage ring will be combined with an Energy Recovery Linac (ERL), to accelerate electrons up to kinetic energy of 50 GeV. This concept - also applicable to the FCC-eh collider and studied at the PERLE project as prototype version - allows a peak luminosity of 1034 cm-2 s-1. A sophisticated design of the RF structures, linacs, arcs, and interaction region is required. The electrons are accelerated and, after the interaction point, their energy is recovered through the same RF structures. While this energy recovery concept is a very promising approach, severe challenges are set by the layout of the interaction region, the beam separation concept and the design of the linac and arc lattice for the highest possible momentum acceptance. Emittance control and beam-beam effect of both, electron and proton beams, have been studied in front-to-end simulations and will be presented. We summarise the design principles of the ERL, the optimization of the arc lattice, and the main parameters of the project.

  The LHeC project aims to study the electron-proton deep inelastic scattering at the TeV energy scale with an innovative accelerator program. It exploits the promising energy recovery technology in order to collide an intense 50 GeV lepton beam with one hadron beam from the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) in parallel to the hadron-hadron operation. The paper presents the studies that have been performed to assess the performance of the machine and the efficiency of the energy recovery process for different scalings of the ERL. The studies include emittance blow-up due to synchrotron radiation emission and beam-disruption created by the strong beam-beam force at the interaction point. The design principles of the ERL structure are discussed, including the particle detector bypass and the interaction region, and the results of the tracking simulations are presented, considering the complete multi-turn ERL process. Special attention is turned to the lepton beam emittance budget and the resulting energy recovery performance.

  The Powerful Energy Recovery Linac for Experiments (PERLE) is an accelerator facility for the development and application of the energy recovery technique for an intense 500 MeV electron beam. The paper presents the studies that have been performed to assess the quality of the ERL lattice design and beam optics. The studies include the Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) emission and wakefields in the superconducting radio-frequency structures of the linacs. The lattice design and optics principles of the ERL structure are discussed, involving the vertical deflection system and the 180° arcs. Finally, the results of the front-to-end tracking simulations that consider the complete multi-turn energy recovery process are presented.
