The compact linear collider study (CLIC) is aiming at delivering a conceptual design for a multi-TeV linear electron-positron collider in 2011. This concept is based on high gradient normal-conducting accelerating structures. The RF power for the acceleration of the colliding beams is produced by a novel two beams acceleration scheme, where power is extracted from a high current drive beam...

In the last year CERN has organized a project, called High Luminosity LHC, regrouping all studies and hardware development needed to improve the luminosity performance of LHC by a factor five above its design (nominal) value, namely reaching 5·1034 cm-2 s-1 with luminosity leveling. This performance, which should be reached after 2021, will enable to obtain some 250 fb-1 per year of...

SuperKEKB, which is an upgrade of KEKB B-factory (KEKB), is a next-generation high luminosity electron-positron collider with asymmetric energies of 7 GeV (e-) and 4 GeV (e+).
Its predecessor, KEKB, was operated from 1998 to 2010 and had been a leader in the race to provide the world’s highest luminosity since 2001. It delivered a total integrated luminosity more than 1 /ab to Belle detector...

The first heavy-ion run of the LHC in 2010 opened up a new energy frontier in nucleus-nucleus collisions. An immediate harvest of physics results demonstrated the potential of the collider and its three heavy-ion experiments, ALICE, ATLAS and CMS. The plan for the coming decade foresees not only increasing energy and luminosity of the primary Pb-Pb collisions but also hybrid p-Pb and Ar-Ar...

An overview is presented on the design concepts for a high luminosity electron-nucleon collider (LHeC) of 1.3 TeV centre of mass energy, which can be realized with the addition of a 60 GeV electron ring or linear accelerator to the existing proton and ion LHC beam facility. The LHeC design comprises machine magnets, optics, interaction region, cryogenics, RF, civil engineering and further...

An outline of the present and future long-baseline neutrino facilities with emphasis on the possibilities at CERN is presented. Accelerator-made neutrinos for long baseline oscillation experiments open the exploration to a broad and rather interesting field of physics experiments, with the measurement of the neutrino mixing angle (θ13), the determination of the sign of neutrino mass hierarchy...

A muon accelerator facility that leads to a multi-TeV Muon Collider presents the unique opportunity to explore new physics within a number of distinct programs that can be brought online as the facility evolves. An introduction to the Muon Collider facility and its capabilities will be given. The Muon Accelerator Program, hosted by Fermilab, has recently been approved by the U.S. Department of...

The muon ionization cooling experiment (MICE) is a strategic R&D project intending to demonstrate the only practical solution to prepare high brilliance beams necessary for a neutrino factory or muon colliders. MICE is under development at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK). It comprises a dedicated beam line to generate a range of input emittance and momentum, with time-of-flight and...
