10.5.2.7 Conclusion
The accelerator and technical solutions as well as the operational proceedures
which enabled the successful operation of the HERA Lepton-Hadron collider are
an important resource for the design of future colliders, in particular for the design
of ring-based electron-ion colliders.

10.6.1 Introduction
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) [189] is a two-ring superconducting accelerator
and collider installed in a 27 km underground tunnel at CERN, on the Swiss-French
border near to Geneva. The tunnel was originally constructed for the Large Electron
Positron collider (LEP), which operated from 1989 to 2000.
The LHC has two high luminosity experiments, ATLAS and CMS, designed for
a peak luminosity of 10 34 cm −2 s −1 , one dedicated ion experiment, ALICE, and one
