Title: Future High-Energy Colliders / Charting the Unknown

Abstract: In 2012 the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider finally discovered the Higgs boson. For its prediction, made some 50 years earlier, Francois Englert and Peter Higgs were awarded the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics. The Higgs boson exhibits a few unique features never before seen. Its close examination may provide answers to several fundamental questions, such as the origin of dark matter, the electroweak phase transition, and the “naturalness” of the...
