Future Circular Collider: Why? What? When?

07/18 2024 Colloquium
  • Title Future Circular Collider: Why? What? When?
  • Speaker Christophe Grojean (DESY and Humboldt University)
  • Date 16:30 Jul. 18, 2024
  • Venue 6620
  • Abstract
    The Future Circular Collider program is profiling itself as the next big challenge taken up by CERN. This ambitious program would be a unique opportunity to fuel the field of high-energy physics for several decades to come.  Be it for testing the standard model predictions with unprecedented precision or to search for new particles, this machine is being designed with versatility and diversity at the heart of its multi-stage program. This presentation will aim at providing a snapshot at the current state of affairs. Emphasis will be given on the physics case, particularly for the FCC-ee early stage.

    Biography
    Christophe Grojean is the head of the DESY theory group in Hamburg and professor at the Humboldt University in Berlin. He has worked on various topics in particle physics beyond the Standard Model. He is a specialist in the physics and the dynamics of the Higgs boson and its possible various incarnations. He has worked in close contact with experimentalists to establish the profile of this new particle. He has also been involved in various working groups to define the physics case of the next colliders after the LHC and since 2022, he is coordinating the activities of the Physics, Experiment and Detector group studying the feasibility of the large of next big project at CERN, the Future Circular Collider.
