Planning for the era of the linear collider
SLAC Scenarios Study
This study is now complete. The final report is here.
What set of questions is the SLAC Scenarios Study trying to answer:
The world HEP community has decided that the next large accelerator project after the LHC should be a high energy, high luminosity e+e- linear collider (LC). This will be a multi-billion dollar accelerator project with participation of major physics labs around the world. SLAC will be a major participant in the design, construction, operation and exploitation of this facility, independent of where it is sited and what technology is chosen. However the model for SLAC's participation has not yet been determined.
As we look towards our future, what are the exciting physics opportunities for SLAC to be engaged in as we look forward to the next decade? Will they be on site, off site or in space? How do the projects we may be doing utilize the lab manpower and infrastructure? How does this depend on the LC technology choice and the location of the linear collider?
