Speaker
Description
The LHeC and the FCC-he are the cleanest, high resolution microscopes that the world can build in the nearer future. Through a combination of neutral and charged currents and heavy quark tagging, they will unfold the parton structure of the proton with full flavour decomposition and unprecedented precision. In this talk we will present the most recent studies on the determination of proton parton densities. We will also present the results on the determination of the strong coupling constant through the measurement of total and jet cross sections. Finally, we will also comment on diffraction, both inclusive and exclusive, as a tool to get more differential information on the proton.
