Abstract:
We plan to construct the next generation of colliders because there is new fundamental knowledge to be gained at the energy frontier — knowledge about both the Standard Model itself and the more fundamental theory that underlies it. I’ll survey the triumphant role of colliders in building the Standard Model, the main open questions now facing particle physics, and the profound motivation these questions provide for successors to the Large Hadron Collider, from precision Higgs factories to high-energy lepton and hadron colliders.
