A "cool” copper collider to unveil the Higgs boson’s secrets
Date: Thursday, December 2nd
Time: 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Place: 4274 Chamberlin and Zoom:
Speaker: Caterina Vernieri, SLAC
Abstract: The Higgs boson was discovered in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the world’s most powerful particle collider, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland. This particle plays a unique role in fundamental physics. It gives all of the known elementary particles, including itself, their masses. While we now have a strong evidence that the Higgs field is indeed the unique source of mass for the known elementary particles, the next step is to search for new interactions that could also explain why the Higgs field has the properties required by the Standard Model of particle physics. We have no clear roadmap to this new theory but the Higgs boson plays a crucial role in this quest. The goal of a next-generation e+e- collider is to carry out precision measurements to per-cent level of the Higgs boson properties that are not accessible at the LHC and HL-LHC. In this talk will we present the study of a new concept for a high gradient, high power accelerator with beam characteristics suitable to study the Higgs boson, the Cool Copper Collider (C^3), with the goal of significantly reducing capital, footprint and operating costs. We will present a timeline for such a collider to enable Higgs boson precision measurements exploring increasing energies for the center-of-mass collisions. The exploitation of the complementarity between LHC and future colliders will be the key to understanding fundamentally the Higgs boson. Zoom video link: Passcode: 6m!^nfpQ
