Top and EW Physics at the LHeC

Abstract

The LHeC is a proposed upgrade of the LHC to study $ep/eA$ collisions in the TeV regime, by adding a 60 GeV electron beam through an energy recovery linac. In $ep$, high precision top and electroweak physics can be performed, such as measurements of anomalous top couplings, light quark couplings to the $Z$ boson and the energy dependence of the weak mixing angle ${\sin }^2{\theta }_W$, for which simulation studies are presented.
