The next steps
There are two distinct and complementary strategies
for gaining new understanding of matter, space and time
at future particle accelerators
HIGH ENERGY
direct discovery of new phenomena
i.e. accelerators operating at the energy scale of the new particle
HIGH PRECISION
interference of new physics at high energies through the precision
measurement of phenomena at lower scales
Both strategies have worked well together
→ much more complete understanding than from either one alone
ex: top quark , prediction of Higgs boson mass range (LEP/Tevatron)
The next steps
We know enough now
to predict with great
certainty that
fundamental new
understanding of how
forces are related, and
the way that mass is
given to all particles, will
be found with a Linear
Collider operating at an
energy of at least 500
GeV.

Precision physics of Higgs-Bosons
Discovery and first measurements at the LHC (perhaps at Tevatron?)
The Higgs boson is a new form of matter
a fundamental scalar
a new force coupling to mass
Therefore, need to establish Higgs mechanism as the mechanism
responsible for
giving mass to elementary particles
breaking of the electroweak symmetry
Task of the Linear Collider:
Precision measurements to determine
mass(es)
quantum numbers (spin zero)
couplings (proportional to masses of bosons, quarks, leptons)
self-coupling (→ reconstruction of Higgs potential)

Conclusion
The precision measurements at the Linear Collider
are crucial to establish the Higgs mechanism
responsible for the origin of mass and for revealing
the character of the Higgs boson
If the electroweak symmetry is broken in a more
complicated way then foreseen in the Standard Model
the LC measurements strongly constrain the
alternative model
Beyond the Higgs
Why are electroweak scale (102 GeV) and
the Planck scale (1019 GeV) so disparate ?
Are there
new particles ? → supersymmetry
new forces ? → strong interactions
hidden dimensions ?
Supersymmetry
● unifies matter with forces
for each particle a
supersymmetric partner
(sparticle) of opposite
statistics is introduced
● allows to unify strong
and
electroweak forces
● provides a link
to string theories
Supersymmetry
● Predicts
• light Higgs boson ( + additional heavier Higgs bosons)
• spectrum of sparticles (→doubling number of particles)
● Contains
• many new parameters connected to SUSY breaking
● High precision measurements of
• masses
• couplings
• quantum numbers
needed to
• extract fundamental parameters (few)
• determine the way Supersymmetry is broken
i.e the underlying supersymmetric model

test if masses unify at same scale as
forces

electroweak bosons and Higgs

Conclusions
The Linear Collider will be a unique tool
for high precision measurements
● model independent determination of SUSY parameters
● determination of SUSY breaking mechanism
● extrapolation to GUT scale possible
but what if ……
No Higgs boson(s) found….
WLWL scattering:
Standard Model mathematically
inconsistent unless new
physics at about 1.3 TeV
Experimental consequence: New strong interaction measurable in
triple and quartic gauge boson couplings
Sensitivity at a TeV Linear Collider: ~ 8 TeV (TGC)
~ 3 TeV (QGC)
Hidden dimensions
In how many dimensions do
we live?
Extra dimensions provide an explanation for the hierarchy problem
String theory motivates brane models in which our world is confined
to a membrane embedded in a higher dimensional space
e.g. large extra dimensions:

photon production

Summary: key scientific points
The Linear Collider Report of the Worldwide Physics and Detector Study Group:
We know enough now to predict with very high confidence that the
Linear Collider, operating at energies up to 500 GeV, will be needed
to understand how forces are related and the way mass is given to all
particles.
We are confident that the new physics that we expect beyond the
standard model will be illuminated by measurements at both the LHC
and the LC, through an intimate interplay of results from the two
accelerators.
The physics investigations envisioned at the LC are very broad and
fundamental, and will require a leading edge program of research for
many years.
General layout of a Linear Collider
For E > 200
GeV need to
build linear
colliders
Proof of
principle:
SLC
The challenges:
Luminosity:
high charge density (1010), > 10,000 bunches/s
very small vertical emittance (damping rings, linac)
tiny beam size (5x500 nm) (final focus)
Energy:
high accelerating gradient (> 25 MV/m, 500 - 1000 GeV)
To meet these challenges:
A lot of R&D on LC’s world-wide
different technologies: NLC/JLC…..TESLA……CLIC
The TESLA
Linear Collider
superconducting Nb cavities
Decisions of the German Ministry for Education and
Research concerning the TESLA Linear Collider
5 February 2003
● Today no German site for the TESLA linear collider will be put forward.
● This decision is connected to plans to operate this project within a
world-wide collaboration
● DESY will continue its research work on TESLA in the existing
international framework, to facilitate and assure German participation
in a future global project
● DESY will remain a world-wide leading centre of particle physics.
● The decision to not propose a site today is not meant as a
reduction of the importance of particle physics in Germany
Essence:
The statement by the German government
• is positive on a linear collider in general,
• approves continued R&D on TESLA,
• encourages the German participation in a
global project,
• but leaves the site selection open for the
time being.

or
How to arrive at a LC as a Global Project
International LC Steering Group:
1. unite first behind one project with all its aspects,
including the technology choice, and then
2. approach all possible governments in parallel in order to
trigger the decision process and site selection.
Next steps 1. Technology Recommendation
Aim at joint selection of one technology in spring 2004
How:
• Gather a committee of wise persons, who use criteria to be
developed by the ILCSG, to recommend a technology choice to the
ILCSC.
• The regional steering committees will each nominate 4 persons
from which the ILCSG will choose three from each list for a total of 9
wise persons.
First discussion of the make-up of the committee in August.
Next steps 2. Global Linear Collider Center
The ILCSG agrees that it would be highly desirable to form a
precursor to the Global Linear Collider Center:
Core group to begin making an international design, based
on accumulated work to date, but reexamined in a
completely international context.
In parallel to the work of the design group:
preparation of political decision, definition of organisational
structure, site analysis
Aim at approval of LC around 2006/2007
Conclusion
We have a convincing scientific case and a world consensus on the
importance of a Linear Collider and on its timing w.r.t. the LHC
LC and LHC offer complementary view of Nature at energy frontier
We have the technology/ies for the LC at hand
We are developing detector technologies to do the physics at the LC
We have a great dynamics in the international coordination
and are gaining political attention
We have an exciting and promising future for discoveries and for
understanding the universe and its origin
Let’s make it happen
