7. Discussion Session
04/11/2022, 10:30
  • We do not wish to discuss the details of current physics results.
  • If there is no direct evidence of new physics at colliders in the coming years, where should we direct our efforts?
  • What is the balance of the physics case for FCC-ee / eh / hh ?
  • Addressing challenges in convincing the community to buy into the next colliders' physics programme.

From the last meeting:

  • Surely...
3. Overview of accelerator technologies and challenges

8. Discussion Session
04/11/2022, 11:15
  • We do not wish to discuss the details of the current technological problems.
  • The physics drivers for a future hadron collider are documented by the US 'Snowmass' (in progress), the European Particle Physics Strategy, and recently by ECFA. Where do the UK ECRs fit (or where best to position itself to make progress) in these plans?
  • How best to support more speculative R&D, which may be...
4. Overview of detector technologies and challenges
Daniel Hynds (University of Oxford (GB))
04/11/2022, 11:45
9. Discussion Session
04/11/2022, 12:00
  • We do not want to discuss details of current technology issues.
  • How to attract and sustain the careers of R&D experts?
  • Do current available infrastructures (test beams, large scale generic prototyping and irradiation) meet the needs of next generation experiments?
  • Could collaboration between academic and industrial partners help increase R&D fundings in the UK? Should this be...
5. Challenges and opportunities in theoretical physics
Tiann Tevong You (Imperial College Sci., Tech. & Med. (GB))
04/11/2022, 13:30
10. Discussion Session
04/11/2022, 13:45
  • What will be the greatest challenge in the development of theoretical calculations, modelling, PDFs …?
  • How to best foster collaborations between theorists and experimentalists for future collider studies? Where should the focus be put?
  • What feedback is needed to tune the accelerator design and running mode to optimise the physics case?
  • Is there any specific area that is currently...
6. Software and computing challenges associated with future colliders
Josh McFayden (University of Sussex)
04/11/2022, 14:15
11. Discussion Session
04/11/2022, 14:30
  • How to best recognise and value the effort of the developers community of state-of-the-art R&D-specific software packages, which must be maintained and continuously updated?
  • What technology advances are critical to build the needed computing facilities to enable the FCCee programme? Are there any bottlenecks in the development of common tools and software infrastructure?
  • What is the...
14. Suggested points for discussion
04/11/2022, 15:00
  • From a technology readiness perspective, what is your impression on what extent could a detector for ILC, FCC-ee, FCC-hh could be build “tomorrow” if the accelerators were spontaneously delivered?
  • If all existing “anomalies” (e.g. lepton universality in B decays, W mass, muon g-2) were resolved by measurements / theory developments, is there still a compelling case for a new collider...
