Design Study of the Large Hadron Electron Collider and a Rapid Cycling Synchrotron as Alternative to the PS Booster Upgrade at CERN

To further extend the discovery potential of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a major upgrade is foreseen around 2020 of the LHC itself and the LHC injectors. Furthermore it has been suggested to built a new electron accelerator in order to allow for deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering at the LHC, referred to as Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC). In this thesis design options for a new LHC injector - a Rapid Cycling Synchrotron - and an electron accelerator for the LHeC are presented.
