Description
Abstract: For building the next or next to next particle accelerators for high energy physics, three main directions are considered:
=> electron-positron circular or linear colliders
=> proton-proton (hadron) colliders
=> muon colliders
This year school will focus on the high energy muon and high energy hadron collider projects. This lecture will present and compare the Physics potential of each of these two machines at the new Energy Frontier. It will also address the new ways both machines will possibly open new unknown domains in the world of the fundamental Matter components and Fundamental Forces. This will need novel Theoretical developments to try explaining the new experimental breakthrougs and discoveries
Lecturer: Carlos Wagner is a particle physicist. He specializes in theoretical physics, elementary particles and supersymmetric theories. He currently works for the High Energy Physics (HEP) division of the Argonne National Laboratory and is also a professor at the Physics Department of the University of Chicago,[1] Enrico Fermi Institute, and the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics,[2] University of Chicago. He also functions as the Head of the ANL High Energy Physics Theory Group.[3]
In 2008, he was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society, a distinct honor signifying recognition by one's professional peers. Wagner earned his fellowship for his contributions to the phenomenology of theories of supersymmetry and of electroweak symmetry breaking (Text informed by Lecturer).
