Description

  • 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 beyond the HL-LHC?
    -Is there a case to skip a future lepton collider if a machine like FCC-hh could be built significantly earlier (e.g. by 20 years)?
  • Do you agree with the current baseline strategy (2020 European Strategy document) i.e. focus should be a “e+e- Higgs factory”
  • Is the vision for a ~100km accelerator environmentally responsible?
  • Can a case for public funding of a new accelerator be made against a backdrop of the challenges brought by a war in europe, a cost of living / energy crisis and accelerating climate change?
  • If the funding case for the LHC had to be made today, would it have been built?
    -Is there an optimal way for today’s ECRs to begin to invest some of their time to contribute to the realisation of a future collider, while making significant contributions to the LHC programme?
