Description
The 10 TeV Wakefield Collider Design Study, established in response to the 2023 P5 Report, has made significant progress since the study was announced at AAC 2024. Formed by a global community of particle theorists, HEP experimentalists, and accelerator scientists across national laboratories and universities, the Design Study has assembled dedicated working groups spanning LWFA, SWFA, and PWFA accelerator technologies, beam-beam interactions, beam delivery systems, detector concepts, and physics goals. Physics cases for electron-positron, electron-electron, and photon-photon collisions at 10 TeV center-of-mass energy have been initiated, with beamstrahlung effects included in these studies. We highlight several important results and publications from this past year. Looking ahead, we discuss synergies between the 10 TeV Design Study and on-going efforts in Europe--ALEGRO, HALHF, and ALIVE--and how these studies may co-evolve in the future.
