2 F. Richard, Prague Nov 2002 What are our main goals? (personal view)  We have to convince ourselves and other people (i.e. non h.e. scientists, funding authorities, OCDE) that FLC results will influence the LHC program. This is SYNERGY. From present experience, the most convincing and direct example comes from the Tevatron program, for which upgrades of detectors, improved luminosity, improved algorithms are driven by the LEP/SLD/Tevatron prediction of a light Higgs.  We could try to build an analogue scenario, assuming that in ~2015 LHC will have to go for high luminosity and will upgrade its detectors. A timely FLC could therefore play an essential role in guiding this effort.  Not less important, for Science, is COMPLEMENTARITY, that is how much do we increase the physicts potential with LHC+LC.

3 F. Richard, Prague Nov 2002 Main Topics Covered so far  3 Meetings took place since April: at StMalo, then twice at CERN ~100 participants ~30 studies  Mostly SUSY : LC precision crucial to sort out SSB scheme and to measure LSP.  Higgs sector within SUSY (precise BR and top mass crucial), the radion scenario  Some aspects on extended symmetries: LC needed to determine the origin of a Z’  Top physics, covered mostly by LHC contributions

4 F. Richard, Prague Nov 2002 What are the plans ?  Document with a written report + contributions by March 2003 i.e. before the Amsterdam meeting  Worldwide oriented work  This report is a scientific document (+an executive summary for a wider diffusion)  Form an Editorial Board immediately  Next meetings: - December 12/13, Fermilab - February 14, CERN

5 F. Richard, Prague Nov 2002 What is still needed  Build up complete and convincing Synergy+Complementarity cases  Strengthen participation of the ECFA/DESY community Some of us went through the main topics (EWSB, SUSY, Xtradim, Extended groups, little Higgs) and through the possible scenarios and G. Weiglein will present these issues evening discussion Sunday at 7 pm

6 F. Richard, Prague Nov 2002 Example of Complementarity Finding SUSY is not enough, you need to know (Feng, Nojiri):  Are the newly discovered particles really superpartners?  If not all superpartners are discovered, where are the rest of them?  Synergy  Do the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces unify?  Is a supersymmetric particle the dark matter?  How are the supersymmetric flavor and CP problems solved?  What is the scale of supersymmetry breaking?  What are the fundamental interactions at the Planck scale?

7 F. Richard, Prague Nov 2002 Example of Synergy LHC finds a peak in l+l- What can it be ? LC can tell (couplings, mixing) Knowing what it is, tell the LHC:  E6, then look for the 8 new fermions e.g. D->Zd  Z LR, then look for a higgs triplet  Little Higgs, then look for colored fermion(s), new scalars, vector bosons These new particles could be at the limit of detectability of LHC, requiring improved detector, luminosity, algorithms

8 F. Richard, Prague Nov 2002 Conclusions  Essential activity: clarify our own ideas, convince the skepticals, strengthen our links to the LHC community  Crucial for political reasons  More input needed  Not much time left Join the discussion on Sunday 19h Join us !
