About the speaker: Christophe Grojean is Lead Scientist in the DESY Theory group and Professor of Theoretical Physics at Humboldt University in Berlin. Throughout his career, he has addressed numerous topics in particle physics beyond the Standard Model. He is an expert in the physics and dynamics of the Higgs boson and its possible manifestations depending on the underlying theory. To establish the profile of the Higgs boson, he works closely with experimentalists. He is also involved in various working groups dealing with the physics case for the next colliders after the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
Abstract: The Future Circular Collider is profiling itself as the next flagship project at CERN after the LHC era. Its ambitious program would be a unique opportunity to fuel the field of high-energy physics for several decades to come. Be it for testing the standard model predictions with unprecedented precision or to search directly and indirectly for new particles at high and low scales, this machine is being designed with versatility and diversity at the heart of its multi-stage program. This presentation will aim at providing a snapshot at the current state of affairs upon the completion of the feasibility study and the release of the recommendations of the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update.
