Conclusions
A first look at a possible lepton proton collider in the
LHC tunnel with a luminosity of 1033cm-2s-1 appears to
be technical possible
Simultaneous operation of pp and ep should be
possible (however with reduced pp luminosity)
More work is needed to determine the most optimum
parameters, the optimum technical choices and the
cost of such a facility
A workshop to discuss this exciting option together
with experimental physicists and accelerator
scientists is planned in October 06
