Particle physicists chart a course to the future
- The European Strategy for Particle Physics is set to develop a visionary and concrete plan that greatly advances human knowledge in fundamental physics through the next flagship project at CERN.
- During the next year and a half, the whole community will work to develop a common vision for the future of particle physics in Europe.
- The previous update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics completed in 2020 recommended that the world should investigate the technical and financial feasibility of a future hadron collider at CERN with a centre-of-mass energy of at least 100 TeV.
- The European Strategy update is expected to prioritise areas of priority for scientific exploration complementary to colliders, as well as for other items such as accelerator, detector and computing research and development, theory developments, actions to minimise environmental impact and improve the sustainability of accelerator-based particle physics, initiatives to attract, train and retain early-career researchers, and public engagement.
- The European Organisation for Nuclear Research will investigate the fundamental nature of the universe through the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments to study the basic constituents of matter – the fundamental particles.
- The third update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics has been launched to develop a visionary and concrete plan for the next flagship project at CERN.
- Studying the Higgs boson and other elementary particles in greater detail and exploring nature at higher energies using next-generation colliders will be key to tackling profound open questions.
- The third update is expected to prioritise alternative options to be pursued if the chosen preferred plan turns out not to be feasible or competitive.
- The European Strategy is driven by the CERN Council, composed of representatives of all Member States.
- The community will work towards developing a common vision for the future of particle physics in Europe, including which major project should succeed the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
