The future circular hadron-hadron collider FCC-hh is expected to produce collisions at the unrivaled center of mass energy of sqrt(s) = 100 TeV and to deliver an integrated luminosity of few tens of ab-1. As a result, billions of Higgs bosons will be produced. Having at disposal such humongous samples opens a wide range of possibilities in the realm of precision Higgs measurements. The Top...
An important test of the Standard Model (SM) electroweak symmetry breaking sector is the measurement of the Higgs self-interactions. Sensitivity to the Higgs self-coupling for mH = 125 GeV is evaluated through the measurement of the non-resonant di-Higgs production final states. The considered decay channels are HH→ bb\gamma\gamma, 4b+jet, bb\tau\tau, and bbVV, where V=W and Z. For the...
Investigating the physics of the top quark at the Future Circular hadron-hadron Collider (FCC-hh) is a very exciting prospect. Considering that at the FCC-hh the QCD top-quark production cross section will be 40 times larger than in the LHC, there is a lot of potential for unveiling possible connections with Beyond-the-Standard Model phenomena. In this talk we will discuss the sensitivity of...
"The feasibility of a future proton-proton collider (FCC-hh), with center of mass energies up to 100 TeV and unprecedented luminosity is currently being studied.
By delivering an integrated luminosity of few tens of ab-1, such a machine will provide an outstanding discovery potential for new physics, far beyond the reach of high luminosity or high energy LHC. In this talk we will discuss...
A proton-proton collider at 100 TeV center-of-mass energy opens up new territory at the energy frontier. Measurements in this energy regime would allow us to test the structure of the Standard Model (SM) with unprecedented precision, as well as enable searches for physics beyond the SM (BSM) involving very massive particles. One of the most appealing BSM theories is supersymmetry (SUSY). The...
Possible extensions of the Higgs sector can be searched for a wide range of parameter space in the high energy proton-proton collisions. We have studied the charged Higgs boson single production within the framework of two Higgs doublet model in the proton-proton collisions at the FCC-hh collider. The production of charged Higgs boson through pp->H±X process is explored in the mass range 0.5...
"Calorimetry with liquid argon as the active medium has been chosen as the baseline technology for large parts of the FCC-hh calorimeters. This includes the barrel electromagnetic (EM) calorimeter, the endcap EM and hadronic calorimeter and the forward calorimeter. These calorimeters have to meet the requirements of high radiation hardness and must be able to deal with a very high number of...
The design of a muon detector and first-level muon trigger system for the FCC-hh baseline experiment is presented. Drift-tube chambers operated with Ar:CO2 (93:7) gas mixture at 3 bar provide a robust and cost effective solution for precise track point and angle measurement over large areas (about 1200 square meters) with the required resolution of better than 50 µm and 70 µrad, respectively....
Data acquisition has always been a significant challenge at a hadron collider. The combination of high luminosity and finely segmented detectors yields data rates that far exceed what can be stored permanently. The problem has traditionally been solved using a trigger system, that performs event selection online. In many cases, the trigger system has relied on dedicated detectors, or detectors...
