Description
The Large Hadron-electron Collider and the Future Circular Collider in electron-hadron mode [1] will make possible the study of DIS in the TeV regime providing electron-proton (nucleus) collisions with per nucleon instantaneous luminosities around $10^{34}$ ($10^{33}$) cm$^{−2}$s$^{−1}$. In this talk we review the opportunities that these proposals offer for the determination of the partonic structure of protons and nuclei in view of the recent findings at the LHC and the future possibilities at the LHC and the EIC. The complete unfolding of all parton species in a single experiment with high precision in an extended kinematic domain would be possible already in a first stage of the machine with modest integrated luminosity. We also present the determination of the strong coupling constant with per mille accuracy using inclusive and jet DIS data.
