Description
At the present time, characterised by incremental increase of the energy and intensity of particle beams, Gamma Factory (GF) proposes leaps in the intensity (up to 7 orders of magnitude), quality (low emittance, polarisation CP-tagging, flavour tagging), and precision control of several types of particle beams.
GF aim is to extend the scientific programme of the LHC in multiple branches of science (particle, nuclear, atomic, astro, accelerator, and applied physics) with reasonable investment costs and small environmental impact.
The GF beam beam-cooling techniques and new methods of producing beams of polarised muons allow for improving the measurement precision of the Standard Model parameters and producing Higgs particles in photon-photon collisions.
The GF experimental programme, if implemented at CERN, can follow the HL-LHC phase, and can be executed while waiting for the next, large-scale, energy-frontier accelerator project. It is an attractive option for plan B for CERN.
In this talk, we plan to present both the ongoing GF R&D studies, the status of the GF proof-of-principle SPS experiment, and the results of quantitative studies of selected Gamma Factory physics applications.
