Physics Opportunities of a 100 TeV Proton-Proton Collider

چکیده
The discovery of the Higgs boson at the LHC exposes some of the most profound mysteries fundamental physics has encountered in decades, opening the door to the next phase of experimental exploration. More than ever, this will necessitate new machines to push us deeper into the energy frontier. In this article, we discuss the physics motivation and present the physics potential of a proton-proton collider running at an energy significantly beyond that of the LHC and a luminosity comparable to that of the LHC. 100 TeV is used as a benchmark of the center of mass energy, with integrated luminosities of 3 ab 1 30 ab .

Physics Opportunities for Vector-Boson Scattering at a Future 100 TeV Hadron Collider
Vector-boson scattering (VBS) processes provide particularly promising means for probing the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and to search for new physics in the weak sector. In the environment of a future proton-proton collider operating at a center-of-mass energy of 100 TeV, unprecedented opportunities arise for the investigation of this important class of reactions. We highlight t...
متن کاملVHEeP: A very high energy electron–proton collider based on proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration
Based on current CERN infrastructure, an electron–proton collider is proposed at a centre-ofmass energy of about 9 TeV. A 7 TeV LHC bunch is used as the proton driver to create a plasma wakefield which then accelerates electrons to 3 TeV, these then colliding with the other 7 TeV LHC proton beam. The basic parameters of the collider are presented, which although of very high energy, has integra...
متن کاملParticle Physics after the Higgs-Boson Discovery: Opportunities for the Large Hadron Collider
The first run of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN brought the discovery of the Higgs boson, an apparently elementary scalar particle with a mass of 125 GeV, the avatar of the mechanism that hides the electroweak symmetry. A new round of experimentation is beginning, with the energy of the proton–proton colliding beams raised to 6.5 TeV per beam, from 4 TeV at the end of the first run. This art...
متن کاملHiggs Bosons, Electroweak Symmetry Breaking, and the Physics of the Large Hadron Collider
The Large Hadron Collider, a 7⊕7 TeV proton-proton collider under construction at CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva), will take experiments squarely into a new energy domain where mysteries of the electroweak interaction will be unveiled. What marks the 1-TeV scale as an important target? Why is understanding how the electroweak symmetry is hidden important to our con...

The muon-proton (μp) collider is an interesting option of the muon collider. Here we discuss the physics potential of the μp collider; especially, leptoquarks and contact interactions. We calculate the sensitivity reach for the second generation leptoquarks and leptogluons, R-parity violating squarks, and μq contact interactions for the μp colliders of various energies and luminosities. INTRODU...
