Chinese Dream on High Energy Circular Colliders | Special Colloquium
Hongbo Zhu (Beijing)
Seminar room 3, 3.00 pm
The discovery of the Higgs particle is one the most important scientific breakthroughs in decades and it opens a new era in elementary particle physics. To fully understand this particle, it is crucial to measure its properties, including mass, spin, CP nature, couplings, etc., as precise as possible at the Large Hadron Collider as well as future electron positron colliders, e.g. the International Linear Collider. The light mass of the Higgs particle (~125 GeV) also makes possible a circular electron positron collider as a Higgs factory. The circular machine would have the advantage of higher luminosity-to-cost ratio and the potential to upgrade to a proton-proton collider in future, allowing direct searches for New Physics at much higher energies (~100 TeV).
There have been several proposals on such type of machines around. The speaker will be focused on the proposal raised in the Chinese High Energy Physics community and the strategy plan toward future.
