Particle colliders for high-energy physics have been in the forefront of scientific discoveries for more than half a century. The accelerator technology of the colliders has progressed immensely, while the beam energy, luminosity, facility size, and cost have grown by several orders of magnitude. The method of colliding beams has not fully exhausted its potential but has slowed down...

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) project explores the possibility of constructing a future multi-TeV linear electron-positron collider for high energy frontier physics post LHC. The CLIC-concept is based on high gradient normal-conducting accelerating structures. The RF power for the acceleration of the colliding beams is produced by a two beam acceleration scheme, where power is extracted...

The Advanced Proton Driven Plasma Wakefield Acceleration Experiment (AWAKE) aims at studying plasma wakefield generation and electron acceleration driven by proton bunches. It is a proof-of-principle R&D experiment at CERN and the world’s first proton driven plasma wakefield acceleration experiment. The AWAKE experiment will be installed in the former CNGS facility and uses the 400 GeV proton...

The LBNF beamline complex is designed to provide a neutrino beam of sufficient intensity and energy to meet the goals of the DUNE experiment with respect to long-baseline neutrino oscillation physics. Presented in this talk will be the issues related to the baseline design from the physics, beam power (>1 MW), lifetime, and radiological requirements. Potential future upgrades to the beamline...

Following the recommendation of the European Strategy Group for Particle Physics, a study on options for a Future Circular Collider (FCC) with centre-of-mass energy of 100 TeV, a luminosity of 5–10 × 1034 cm2s−1 and a circumference in the range of 100 km was started. The study integrates ongoing accelerator and technology initiatives at CERN and in partner...

The FCC-ee is a high-luminosity, high-precision e+e- circular collider, envisioned in a new 80-100 km tunnel in the Geneva area. It is envisaged to operate the collider with centre of mass energies ranging from 90 GeV for Z production to 350 GeV at the t-tbar threshold. With a constant power budget for synchrotron radiation, the FCC-ee RF system must meet the requirements for both the highest...

High luminosity is required at future Linear Colliders
which is particularly challenging for all corresponding positron sources.
At the ILC, polarized positrons are obtained from electron-positron pairs by converting
high-energy photons produced by passing the high-energy main electron beam through a
helical undulator.
The conversion target undergoes cyclic stress with high peak values....

A convincing measurement of CP-violation that is significantly larger than Standard Model prediction will shine a strong light on the mystery of the asymmetry between matter and antimatter. Even though there have been breakthroughs of verifying CP-violation using accelerators, these measurements are still not at the level to explain the deficiency of anti-matter in our universe. Since the...
