English: Proposed layout of the recirculating linear accelerator complex for LHeC. A 500-MeV electron bunch coming from the injector is accelerated in each of the two 10-GeV SC linacs during three revolutions, after which it has obtained an energy of 60 GeV. The 60-GeV beam is focused and collided with the proton beam. It is then bent by 180° in the highest-energy arc beam line before it is sent back through the first linac, at a decelerating RF phase. After three revolutions with deceleration, re-converting the energy stored in the beam to RF energy, the beam energy is back at its original value of 500 MeV, and the beam is disposed in a low-power 3.2-MW beam dump.
