Based on the recommendations of the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update, the European Committee for Future Accelerators (ECFA) has launched a series of workshops on physics studies, experiment design, and detector technologies towards a future electron-positron Higgs/EW/Top factory. The aim is to bring together the efforts of various e+e- projects, to share challenges and expertise, to explore synergies, and to respond coherently to this high-priority strategy item.
To set up the relevant structures and to define a path towards such workshops, an International Advisory Committee (IAC) was formed, which established three Working Groups led by conveners from both experiment and theory.
