Title: Accelerators for Future Colliders
Abstract: Particle physics motivates next generations of colliders ranging from a fraction of a TeV for precision Higgs physics to the 10 TeV parton Center of Mass (pCM) scale for both broad new physics and deep characterization of the Higgs sector. Designs for Higgs factory colliders are being formalized with the aim of a project late in the decade. The 10 TeV pCm range will place radical new demands on accelerator capability, efficiency, and cost. At the same time, accelerator science is advancing rapidly with a set of new technologies under development that make it feasible to address this frontier. These technologies, including high field magnets for proton machines, muon colliders incorporating cooling, and high gradient linear wakefield lepton colliders all require development in order to allow us to make a confident, informed decision on the path forward. These colliders, a combination of general and targeted R&D, and interactions with the detector and particle physics community to develop them will be discussed.
