Modern and Future Colliders

Understand

Since the initial development of charged particle colliders in the middle of the 20th century, these advanced scientific instruments have been at the forefront of scientific discoveries in high energy physics.

• Collider accelerator technology and beam physics have progressed immensely and modern facilities now operate at energies and luminosities many orders of magnitude greater than the pioneering colliders of the early 1960s.
• In addition, the field of colliders remains extremely dynamic and continues to develop many innovative approaches.
• Indeed, several novel concepts are currently being considered for designing and constructing even more powerful future colliders.
