The advantages of energy Liantao Wang, 1st CFHEP Symposium on circular collider physics, Feb. 24, 2014
Bino-like points? Not uncommon, and hard Experimental challenge (i.e. GOOD!)
Matthew Low and Lian-Tao Wang Dominated by systematic error of background Challenge to experimentalists Higgsino Wino 1 – 2 % systematic GOOD!
Vacuum potential The VACUUM is a region of space filled with HIGGS FIELD

Conclusion Particle physics needs a strong vision for the future A very high energy hadron- hadron collider is extremely compelling – Naturalness – Dark Matter – Vacuum potential Such a machine will certainly lead the world – And educate a large number of very happy experimentalists
