DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Markus Brugger (CERN)\n\nAbstract: \nCERN’s scien
 tific programme extends far beyond its flagship collider facilities. Throu
 gh a unique ecosystem of fixed-target experiments\, antimatter and isotope
  facilities\, neutron and neutrino programmes\, forward-physics initiative
 s\, and technology-driven research platforms\, CERN supports a broad and d
 iverse scientific community addressing fundamental questions in particle\,
  nuclear and astroparticle physics. As the Laboratory prepares for the Hig
 h-Luminosity LHC era and engages in future flagship projects\, it has laun
 ched an initiative to develop a long-term Non-Collider Physics Roadmap (20
 27–2046) to establish a coherent strategic framework for this diverse pr
 ogramme and its future evolution.\nThis lecture inaugurates a new academic
  training series dedicated to the scientific\, technical and strategic dim
 ensions of Non-Collider Physics at CERN. The series aims to provide a comm
 on knowledge base for the roadmap exercise by bringing together experts fr
 om across CERN and the wider international community to review the current
  landscape\, future opportunities\, and associated technological developme
 nts. As an introductory lecture\, it will present the motivation\, scope a
 nd objectives of the roadmap initiative\, discuss CERN’s unique position
  within the global non-collider physics landscape\, and provide a first gl
 impse of the broad spectrum of scientific activities spanning fixed-target
  physics\, neutrinos\, antimatter\, rare isotopes\, neutron facilities\, f
 orward physics\, and emerging exploratory programmes.\nParticular emphasis
  will be placed on the challenges of long-term planning in a rapidly evolv
 ing scientific environment\, where new opportunities are enabled by CERN
 ’s rich and versatile infrastructure: balancing scientific ambition\, te
 chnical feasibility\, operational constraints and resource considerations 
 while preserving CERN’s openness to new ideas and future opportunities. 
 The lecture will further discuss how the roadmap seeks to maximise complem
 entarity between facilities\, experiments and communities\, strengthen the
  connection between collider and non-collider activities\, and provide a t
 ransparent framework for the evaluation and integration of future initiati
 ves. In doing so\, it will outline the process towards a vision for mainta
 ining a vibrant and scientifically diverse research programme that complem
 ents and reinforces CERN’s flagship activities over the coming decades.\
 nShort Bio:\nMarkus Brugger is a physicist and senior staff member at CERN
  with more than 25 years of experience in particle physics\, accelerators\
 , radiation effects\, engineering\, and experimental area support. After s
 tarting his career with the CMS experiment and later contributing to radia
 tion protection\, FLUKA simulation studies\, LHC machine protection\, and 
 the Radiation to Electronics (R2E) programme\, he led the development of s
 everal CERN-wide initiatives\, including the CHARM irradiation facility\, 
 and major reliability and infrastructure projects supporting LHC operation
 s. Between 2016 and 2020\, he served as Deputy Head of CERN’s Engineerin
 g Department while heading the Experimental Areas Group from 2016 to 2025.
  Today\, he is leading CERN’s Non-Collider Physics Roadmap Initiative\, 
 tasked with developing a long-term strategic framework for CERN’s divers
 e scientific non-collider physics programme beyond the LHC flagship experi
 ments\, covering fixed-target facilities\, neutrino and forward-physics in
 itiatives\, antimatter\, neutron and isotope facilities\, and future exper
 imental opportunities.\n \n \n\nhttps://indico.cern.ch/event/1696414/
