This process, set to conclude in June 2026, will involve extensive consultation within the particle physics community.<\/p>\n
The European Strategy Group (ESG) has been tasked with developing a visionary plan to advance fundamental physics.<\/p>\n
This plan will identify the next flagship project at CERN, aiming to maintain Europe’s leadership in particle physics through international collaboration.<\/p>\n
The strategy will prioritise projects that can propel human knowledge forward and solidify Europe’s global standing in the field.<\/p>\n
The European particle physics strategy update will assess the progress made since the 2020 iteration, considering significant developments such as results from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)<\/a> and other international experiments.<\/p>\n Key considerations will include the construction of the High-Luminosity LHC<\/a>, outcomes from the Future Circular Collider<\/a> Feasibility Study, and advancements in accelerator, detector, and computing technologies.<\/p>\n These insights will guide the ESG in shaping a strategy that addresses current opportunities and anticipates future challenges.<\/p>\n A central focus of the updated strategy will be selecting the preferred option for the next collider at CERN.<\/p>\n The ESG will also outline alternative plans in case the primary option is not feasible. Beyond colliders, the strategy will highlight other experimental areas at CERN, in other European laboratories, and potential projects outside Europe.<\/p>\n Additionally, the strategy will address broader concerns, such as theoretical advancements, environmental sustainability, and initiatives to attract and retain young scientists.<\/p>\n This reflects the growing need to minimise the environmental impact of particle physics research while ensuring that the field remains dynamic and appealing to new talent.<\/p>\nStrategic priorities and environmental impact<\/h3>\n
