17:30 - 19:00
CHAIRED by: Dr.Nadia Pastrone (INFN-Torino, IT) Abstract: Beyond the successful completion of the high-luminosity LHC, the ESPPU (European Strategy for Particle Physics Update) identified an e+e– Higgs factory as the highest priority future collider, and tasked CERN to undertake a feasibility study for a hadron collider operating at the highest possible energies, with a Higgs factory as a possible first stage (FCC). China is developing a similar startegy with the CepC followed by the SppC high energy hadron collider. Linear collider Higgs factory options as ILC and CLIC are studied in parallel. An international muon collider collaboration addresses the challenges of constructing a future 3-10 TeV muon collider. Although accelerator R&D is necessarily a long-term endeavour, the European LDG (Lab Directors Group) roadmap focuses on the shorter but crucial timescale of the next five-to-ten years. It concentrates on the five key objectives identified in the ESPPU: further development of high-ﬁeld superconducting magnets; advanced technologies for superconducting and normal-conducting radio-frequency (RF) structures; development and exploitation of laser/plasma-acceleration techniques; studies and developments towards future bright muon beams and muon colliders; and the advancement and exploitation of energy-recovery linear accelerator technology. This keynote will first describe the overall panorama of the future accelerators starting with the e+e- Higgs factory options. The speaker will then expand on two main accelerators options that are also actively studied as part of the abovementioned accelerator roadmap: a high energy muon collider (3 to 10 TeV) and a high energy hadron collider at 100 TeV. A high energy Muon collider R&D is studied both in Europe and USA; a high energy hadron collider is studied both at CERN (FCC-hh) and in China (SppC). Both accelerator options are linked to the development of high field magnets; this is the subject of another keynote in this school. Besides, the introductory theoretical presentation by Carlos Wagner stresses the physics potential with these colliders, and the lecture by Nadia Pastrone will discuss the experimental set-ups needed to confront the new challenges imposed on the detectors of these colliders. Lecturer: : Steinar Stapnes is a Professor at the Department of Physics of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Oslo (Norway). He is currently Linear Collider Study Leader and Research Scientist at CERN. He was deeply involved in the construction of the ATLAS experiment at CERN, where he acted as Co-Deputy Spokeperson. The last decade he has been involved on the development of future accelerators, primarily the CLIC high energy e+e- linear accelerator project and ILC. He is leader of the International Muon Collider Collaboration Steering Group and member of the International Advisory Committee for the CepC project in China (text informed by the lecturer).

17:30 - 19:30
Chaired by Prof. Stefan Soldner-Rembold (Manchaster U, Head of the Physics Department) Abstract: In this lecture we look forward, beyond the next generation giant neutrino experiments presently under contraction, T2HK and DUNE, and will explore the landscape of experiments and facilities that are in preparation or being considered for precision oscillation studies and could become 'next-to next' generation experiments, depending on the open questions in neutrino physics that will emerge at the time. We will also e.g. look forward to planned experiments for measuring properties of neutrinos such as mass measurements or the Majorana/Dirac nature of this fundamental particle. Next, we report on opportunities offered by colliders as neutrino factories, the first pathfinder experiments of which that have produced first results in 2023 at the LHC namely the FASER and SND@LHC experiments. A proposal for a dedicated TeV neutrino detector facility at CERN for the High-luminosity LHC to take data in 2030 is being prepared. These activities will be very inspiring for the long-term plans of future high energy colliders at CERN or elsewhere. Finally a very important part of the present and future neutrino program will be the study of neutrinos from the sky with large detectors in the ice or water, such as IceCube and KM3NET. ====== Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Albert De Roeck is a senior research scientist and staff member of the largest particle physics laboratory in the world, CERN, home of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). De Roeck is also a professor at the University of Antwerp (Belgium) and a visiting professor at UC Davis, the British University in Cairo (Egypt) and NTU in Singapore. He obtained his PhD at the university of Antwerp on an experiment at CERN, studying the multi-particle dynamics in hadron-hadron interactions. De Roeck spent then 10 years at DESY (Germany) where he and his team made very precise measurements of the quark and gluon structure of the proton, and precise tests of the strong force. At the end of the 90's his interest turned to the possibility to discover new physics at future particle colliders, in particular Supersymmetry and Extra Dimensions, and returned to CERN. He first joined an experiment at the large electron-positron collider LEP, studying the strong force and searching for signals of new physics. He played a significant role in the preparation of one of the experiments at the LHC: the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) (2000-2009). De Roeck has become one the leaders in the CMS/LHC physics program, actively involved in physics analyses. He was deputy spokesperson at CMS (2010-2011), and convener of the Higgs search physics group (2012-2013) with a leading role in the Higgs discovery (July 2012). At the LHC he is a leader of the long-lived particle search effort and involved in several new experiments such as SND@LHC and FPF (Forward Physics Facility). He leads the neutrino physics group at CERN (since 2017) and is an active member in the DUNE and ICARUS experiments in the US and the T2K experiment in Japan (text informed by the Lecturer). ========= Photos one during Albert's keynote with Stefan chairing this keynote session and the other photo taken at the end of Albert's keynote (courtesy Douglas Novaes)
