The CAS Center for Future High Energy Physics successfully hosted the Second Workshop on Future High Energy Circular Collider Physics at IHEP from March 4 to March 7, 2015. About 80 noted scientists from Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Germany, Iran, Israel, Japan, Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the U.K. and the U.S. attended the workshop.
The workshop discussed flavor and top physics at the proposed future 100 TeV hadron collider. Such a collider will be able to produce about 1011 top quarks, and an order of magnitude more bottom and charm quarks than produced at LHC, allowing unprecedented precision in measurement of the weak coupling parameters. The astonishing number of heavy flavor quarks and hadrons will make available many new experimental and detection methods to search for new physics.
Following this workshop, a smaller workshop on Higgs and Z particles was held at the Institute of Theoretical Physics, CAS. Both workshops were very successful in promoting discussion of these topics, and it is expected that the workshops will strongly push forward our studies in flavor and TeV physics.
