Description
http://conferences.fnal.gov/nnn12/pictures/slideshow/original/Fall_1.jpg With the observation of the Standard Model Higgs boson, the high energy physics community is investigating possible next steps for entering into a new era in particle physics. The aim of this workshop is to bring together physics, instrumentation/detector and accelerator experts to present, outline and discuss all aspects needed for the next steps in the energy frontier. The workshop will focus on the lessons learned with 7 and 8 TeV LHC, physics requirements and subsequent detector technologies for HL-LHC, as well as development needs for future 100 TeV proton collider. The goal is to identify synergies and common approaches where further collaboration between various initiatives could be fruitful. The discovery potential for a future 100 TeV proton collider will depend on the detector / instrumentation capabilities in order to explore the highest energy and phenomena. Many of these detection capabilities will need further studies such as muon detection at several 10s of TeV range, calorimeters capable of measuring jets close to 50 TeV and at the same time able to resolve sub-jets efficiently, forward detectors in high radiation environments, etc. In addition, detector technological developments will depend on the physics cases including discovery potential for new physics, access to heavier particle states, dark matter signatures, etc. some of which we hope this workshop can provide.
