Invited plenary talk on The challenges of large infrastructure physics projects in the 21st century
Invited plenary talk "The CEPC/SppC project: status and challenges"
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) project is investigating the possibility to build a multi-TeV linear electron-positron collider for high-energy frontier physics studies. CLIC is based on high-gradient normal-conducting accelerating structures. The high-power RF for the acceleration of the colliding beams is provided by a two-beam acceleration scheme, in which power is extracted from a high...
We are studying a new scheme to produce very low emittance muon beams using a positron beam of about 45 GeV interacting on electrons on target. This is a challenging and innovative scheme that needs a full design study. One of the innovative topics to be investigated is the behaviour of the positron beam stored in a low emittance ring with a thin target, that is directly inserted in the ring...
In order to achieve affordable and compact high-energy particle accelerators, machines with high accelerating gradients and high efficiency is necessary. The beam-driven plasma wakefield accelerator is a novel accelerator technique being developed for this purpose. The field has recently seen a rapid experimental progress. The AWAKE experiment at CERN is the first proton-driven plasma...
Accelerators in the 21st century (Preliminary title, TBC)
Significant progress made in overcoming traditional challenges of direct CP due to non-perturbative QCD in certain class of B-decays and also in K=>pi pi decays will be discussed. In B decays specifically to generic D^0 K(*)-like decays purely data driven methods have been developed to extract the unitarity angle gamma to an incredible precision so that it can now serve as a “standard...
Flavour physics is currently well described by the Standard Model except for some measurements which could be signalling new physics. We discuss anomalies in rare exclusive semi-leptonic B decays and in RK/D(*) ratios, which appear to challenge a cornerstone of the Standard Model, the lepton universality. These anomalies have reached a high level of statistical significance. We survey the...
Though neutrinos were first observed over 60 years ago, many interesting and fundamental questions remain to be answered. This talk will provide a brief overview of neutrino oscillation physics and how it contributes to our overall understanding of neutrinos. Selected results from current long baseline and reactor experiments will be discussed. The increasingly important role played by...
The 2015 nuclear physics long-range plan in the US endorsed the realization of an Electron-Ion
Collider (EIC) as the next large construction project in the United States. With its high
luminosity ( > 10^^33 cm−2 s^−1), wide kinematic reach in center-of-mass-energy (20 GeV to 140 GeV) and high lepton and proton beam polarization, the EIC is an unprecedented opportunity to reach new frontiers in...
Borexino is a liquid scintillator detector sited underground in the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (Italy). Its physics program, until the end of this year, is focussed on the study of solar neutrinos, in particular from the Beryllium, pp, pep and CNO fusion reactions. Knowing the reaction chains in the sun provides insights towards physics disciplines such as astrophysics (star physics,...
Unraveling the nature of antimatter is an ongoing quest on the frontiers of physics. Even though the existence of antimatter has been known since the early 1930s, there is still much to be learned about the nature of this elusive type of particles — in particular, which differences between matter and antimatter renders the observable universe possible. The Antimatter Factory at CERN has been...
