Experimental Particle and Astro-Particle Physics Seminar

Monday 1 Dec 2025, 14:00 → 16:00 Europe/Zurich

Stefanos Leontsinis (University of Zurich (CH))

Abstract: 

In the ongoing process of updating the European Strategy for Particle Physics, several projects have been put forward as proposals for the next flagship at CERN - among them the Linear Collider Facility, or LCF.
Combining the on-site ground work of CLIC with the mature ILC trachnology, the LCF offers a reliable opportunity to reach high energy e+e- collisions.
This talks discusses what it entails, how the accelerator is structured and how it would work at CERN. It presents the physics case with a focus on the specific capabilities of a linear collider.
In addition, an overview is given how the LCF compares to other proposals for the CERN flagship.

Secondly, the International Large Detector ILD is presented. This detector concept was originally devised for another linear collider, the ILC, but has also been proposed for the FCC-ee.
With its large gaseous tracker and highly granular calorimeter it is optimised for the ParticleFlow approach to reconstructing particles and events.
The talks summarises ILD's structure and components highlighting their impact on physics studies and results as well as the ongoing developments in hardware and software, in particular the adaption to a circular machine.
