Conclusions
- What unites us: focus on discovery
- Lepton and proton colliders are remarkably
- A choice between unknowns
SLIDE 3
Conclusions (cont’d)
100 TeV pp machine:- Unprecedented reach for new physics,
- Best guess: most sensitive probe of tuning
- Less energy reach, essentially no loopholes
- Precision program (Higgs, top)
- Best guess: most sensitive probe of tuning

The Standard Model
With the discovery of the Higgs, we have experimentally established a theory that can be consistently extrapolated to the Planck scale. Can we justify continued exploration with expensive particle colliders? There is no guarantee of discovery. We are exploring the unknown. SLIDE 5 New physics at TeV scale
Unanswered Questions
- Dark matter
- Unification
- Naturalness
- Inflation
- Origin of masses and mixings
- Matter-antimatter asymmetry

Naturalness
Elementary scalars are unnatural- K. Wilson

Two Ideas
SUSY Compositeness (includes extra dimensions) tuning in standard model SLIDE 8
SUSY
The most successful paradigm for physics beyond the standard model Most general feature of spectrum: High scale SUSY breaking: RGE + unification Low scale SUSY breaking: gauge mediation ⇒ jets + MET signature SLIDE 9

SUSY Naturalness?
Tuning: ⇒ My rough summary: LHC run 1: probes 10% tuning LHC run 2: 1% tuning HL-LHC: another factor of 4 Many sensitive stop searches... SLIDE 11
Scenarios
Discovery: we know what to do...- “We told you so”
- Study the %#**! out of the signal
- Assess what future facilities best leverage discovery

More Study Needed!
The ILC community has set the gold standard for documenting their machine and its physics reach. CLIC is also in good shape, but there are few studies for VLHC and muon collider. More such studies are needed as input to the decision about the next big step forward in the energy frontier. SLIDE 23
How do we Decide?
“Guaranteed discovery” is guaranteed mediocrity High energy lepton and proton colliders are extremely complementary Neither has a guarantee of discovery We have to decide. If X finishes its run and we have seen nothing beyond the measurements that are guaranteed, I will say: “We did the right thing.”
