Q05.00001: Higgs as a tool for new physics Invited Speaker: Toyoko Orimoto Since its discovery at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012, the Higgs boson has served as a valuable tool for probing beyond-the-Standard-Model physics scenarios. In this presentation, searches for rare and exotic decays of the Higgs boson will be described, as well as searches for additional Higgs bosons predicted by extensions of the Standard Model. Recent results from the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations, using 13 TeV proton-proton collisions data from LHC Run 2, will be presented. Prospects at the High-Luminosity LHC will also be briefly highlighted. |

Q05.00002: The potential of Higgs factories Invited Speaker: James E Brau Precision measurements of the Higgs boson provide a powerful pathway to explore the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking, including the possible discovery of physics beyond the standard model. With small backgrounds and unprecedented detectors, electron-positron Higgs factories can probe the Higgs boson at new levels of sensitivity. Model-independent determinations of couplings and other parameters will test a variety of new physics scenarios. The linear collider and circular e+e-colliders are possible realizations for this opportunity. |

Q05.00004: CERN Future Circular Colliders program Invited Speaker: Michael Benedikt After ten years of physics at the LHC, the particle physics landscape has greatly evolved. Today, a staged Future Circular Collider (FCC), consisting of a luminosity-frontier highest-energy electron-positron collider (FCC-ee) followed by an energy-frontier hadron collider (FCC-hh), promises the most far-reaching physics program for the post-LHC era. FCC-ee is a precision instrument to study the Z, W, Higgs and top particles, and offers unprecedented sensitivity to signs of new physics. Most of the FCC-ee infrastructure can later be reused for the subsequent hadron collider, FCC-hh. The FCC-hh provides proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 100 TeV and can directly produce new particles with masses of up to several tens of TeV. This collider will also measure the Higgs self-coupling and explore the dynamics of electroweak symmetry breaking. Thermal dark matter candidates will be either discovered or conclusively ruled out by FCC-hh. Heavy-ion collisions and ep collisions (FCC-eh) further contribute to the breadth of the overall FCC program. The integrated FCC infrastructure will serve the particle physics community through the end of the 21st century. This presentation will summarize the conceptual designs of FCC-ee and FCC-hh, covering the machine concepts, the R&D for key technologies, infrastructure planning, initial considerations for the experiments, and a possible implementation schedule. |
