For session 3 and 4, we need to make sure that they are separated from the opener talks. These talks are more direct, where as 1 and 2 are more general.
Session 5: Important that the LHC doesn’t sit in isolation. Interplays and connections. It connects well to Thursday. It would be better to have this closer to those sessions.
Do we want to submit material for the speaker? Like flash slides that are summarized? Lots of benefits to sharing slides to the community. Makes it more dynamic. And also serves as a reference for others. Engages the community more. Could be very important in areas like AI where there is so much activity going on.
Sessions 9 and 10: This needs to change to be the ‘LHC connections to the current and planned experiments’. The focus here should be on the connections to LHC and not the full overview. Speaker will be hard to find here! Guidance for the speaker is critical.
Friday, Session 13: Lots of hesitation/discussion here, what kind of talk here? Decide this after Venice? Better focus is the BSM for a future higgs factor? What is the impact of high lumi on the BSM program for future colliders? This is not a topic that is much addressed. Need a unique angle for this session. DG and SPC are not so interesting here, should do something else. Many angles like how can the HL-LHC be used better? BSM and precision in future colliders, etc but still using what is collected from the ESPP.
For the thursday talks: could shorten the discussion time to give more time for these talks if the topic is too broad.
Long-lived particles are very interesting for more luminosity. Gives prospects for discovery. Should give this more focus in one of the sessions. Session 5 focused on long-lived. And then consolidate 5, 9 and 10. Also want to emphasize the deeper motivation to these simplified models from the theory side. Could have a theory talk that motivates the theory side (field of theoretical grammar). Not yet another talk on the simplified models and portals but of fundamental foundations. The experimental side should also cover challenges and potential and not just results.
Should avoid having these general theory talks. It would be nice to hear about some models and to have theorists with opinions. Also models related to the hierarchy problem. Could we have a session on this for example?
Change session 6 QIS to ‘atomic and low energy probes to BSM’
Change one talk in the session 4 to discuss hierarchy problem.
Can suggest to the speakers to meet beforehand or at least send the talk questions/notes to the others speakers.
